Saucy!

Give me the saucy people in life. The other day at a cocktail party my Fun Bun fell off - it happens - and the two guys beside me looked down at it in alarm. “Whoops! Just my fake hair!” said I. “Good to know,” said one. “We wuz gittin’ ready to stomp it,” said his friend.Then the other night I met a waiter with a similarly breeziness. I had just surreptitiously sprinkled some no-cal powdered drink mix into my water, then tried hiding the packet under my dinner plate on account of the general tackiness involved in bringing outside food products into a restaurant. “I saw that,” the waiter whispered as he brushed past me. Then, a little while later he caught me diluting  my mojito with big splashes from that gallon bottle of sparkling water they make you buy if you want even a little sparkling water.“What's this?!” he shouted in fake outrage.“Hey! I paid for this water!” I said back in my own fake-mad way. "That's  Paulie from the The Sopranos when he comes to pick up his mom after her lunch out with her old-lady pals, remember? And one of them starts stuffing all the leftovers into her purse?  ‘Hey, those are my Ma’s rolls!’ Paulie shouts and snatches them our of her hands. Remember that?”He remembered it. Everybody watched The Sopranos, even just on A& E where they dub over the bad words. I loved all those characters and speaking of staying jaunty, here's old Paulie Walnuts now visiting Christopher in the hospital and explaining  how Purgatory works. Good message for the Sabbath maybe eh?[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObglF8WUsWM]
