Little Old Lunch Quiz
Podiatrist office. Tiny, ancient couple. She’s bent over a clip board, writing, as he sits at her elbow.
Her: “Are you still 88?”
Him: “What?”
Her: “ARE YOU STILL 88?”
Him: “I already ate.”
Her: (pause) “Yep, still 88… and still deaf.”
Him: “Why does a foot doctor want to know if I ate lunch?”
Her: “Oh, go back to sleep.”
