Lake Nokomis beach
Overheard by Playing Scrabble on the beach.

Hippy-ish guy in his 30’s: I got my floaty thing for free at the liquor store. They called me up and were like, “Duuuude” and I was like, “Whaaat?” ‘You won.” “What’d I win?” “You won the floaty thing.” But it didn’t last before it popped, you know. Where’d you girls get your floaty things?
One of two girls on the shore: K-mart.
Hippy-ish guy in his 30’s: Tiiiight!
