Overheard at the Donut Shop
Big woman in her 60s, accent and voice like Barney Frank (only deeper), talking on the phone:
Carol? Shit, you sound like crap! You got the flu? Yeah, like that time you brought the ham.

…and everbody got the trichinosis and swelled up like buns. No–don’t you come–I’ll get your Bible to you through the mail slot. Wings? Honey dip or barbecue? All right then.
Oh, no, Daryl, you have the voice wrong. We’re talking gruff Brooklyn here. Judging from the numbers of shits, craps and goddamns (in the presence of several wide-eyed, donut-eating children), I don’t think she’ll be delivering any Bibles or even wings. Maybe a nice brisket.
