This doesn’t beat the smartly dressed ‘30s woman on my evening train out of London heading West who took from her bag a crystal glass, a small cutting board, lime & a pocket knife, a gin miniature & a bottle of tonic, and proceeded to top it off with ice from a thermos handled with silver tongs.

We were stuck at a light behind a car w/a bumper sticker that had teeny-tiny writing we both squinted to read: "honk if you'd rather be watching the 1996 jim henson musical swashbuckler comedy 'muppet treasure island' starring tim curry" and you're damn right I made my wife honk the horn at them.

I don't expect much from restaurant/coffee shop websites anymore but FFS, INCLUDE YOUR STORE HOURS. I shouldn't have to go to your Instagram site to find out when you're open. This is ludicrous.

If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?
