Give The Man Some Fiber
Loud Guy running into Starbucks: Where your bathroom at? Key? Where’s the key? Fuck. Fuck! (Grabs key, runs to door, fumbles in a hurry to unlock door, enters bathoom) Aw SHIT. HELL NO. SHIT. AHH. God damn. (Moments later exits bathroom, seemingly unharmed and better, goes to counter) Pumpkin Loaf? Pumpking Cake? Oh man, I gotta try that. You know what you should have? Sweet Potato pie. You ain’t got that though. There ain’t no soul food up in here. How about peach cobbler? Oh man, peach cobbler. You could at least have pumpkin pie. At least.
