Coffee Shop Banter (Volume I)

More often than not, we take a trip over to Soufflés each day around 3:00pm for a cup of coffee and some general conversation with the people that work there. (By the way, good coffee, friendly people, check it out sometime.)

Now and then, you'll hear something that just stands out above the rest of the chatter. This happened today about an hour ago. A set up for this conversation, I walked over to hear a random lady with a dog talking to Patrick about the cast on his hand.

1. Random Lady w/ Dog: I've had problems too, you know. Things like carpel tunnel. What happened to your hand?
2. Patrick: I hit a wall.
3. Random Lady w/ Dog: (Talking to her dog as she pulled it closer to her and away from Patrick) Better stay away from him.
4. Patrick: I really should just start making up excuses.
