2002may14. Quimby’s wants to distribute Macros2000. I am sure they don’t remember distributing X Magazine. I have no problem dealing with stores directly, it’s the distributors that make me all itchy. Brrrrrr. Anyway, as I was trying to drive away from the post office, a 50-year-old guy sort of got in the way of my car.
Me: What?I hadn’t even thought of the perishables sitting next to me. If this happens to you, remember – you have perishables in the trunk, even if you don’t. It could mean the difference between a side trip to Rengstorff and not a side trip to Rengstorff.
Him: Where are you going?
Me: What?
Him: Where are you going?
Me: Home.
Him: Could you take me to Rengstorff?
Me: WHAT?
Him [Thinking I’m a deaf taxi driver]: RENGZ-TORF.
Me: No, sorry.
