Strolling through the supermarket, we arrive in the produce area.  Jets shoot cool mist onto the beets and turnips every five minutes.  They should hold an amateur wet t-shirt contest here on every other Wednesday.

I absentmindedly peel a leaf from a bunch of Boston lettuce.  It's slimy in my hand.  I gingerly place it on the crown my head.  I'm either an Ann Geddes model twenty years later or a vegan Jew...only my urologist knows for sure.

Sarah is juggling cherry tomatoes.  First three, then four, five and six as Lisa flips the into the pattern.  I toss her a cantaloupe, and the whole thing goes to shit.  She tosses the two cherries she's managed not to drop to me and says, "You try, funny man."  I stick them in the corners of my eyes and scrunch up my face so they stay there.  I can't be positive, but I've the feeling that Lisa is over by the cucumbers.

Ten plus ten equals forty minus twenty.  That's all we are, and it's a long time until morning.
