And Resigning From Your Fan Club

50-something woman: I want the tiramisu for my birthday cake!
Husband: Well, the restaurant says they only have individual portions, not a big thing. That would be expensive for eleven people.
50-something woman: Well, I don’t want the key lime pie, that’s fifth on a list of five options.
20-something woman #1: Well, why don’t we get a pie for everyone else, and a tiramisu for you?
50-something woman: I want everyone to eat what I’m eating in commemoration of my birthday!
20-something woman #2: Oh my god. I’m leaving.

Old woman #1: So did you get that dirty book I was talking about?
Old woman #2: No, I couldn’t find it. They don’t sell them at Barnes and Noble. I have to look on Amazon.
Old woman #1: The one I read is really graphic. This girl is this room, watching two people doing it.
Old woman #2: Yeah, I’m saving some of them to read on the plane ride.
