I was on the train the other day talking to my brother on the phone. We had both made spaghetti the night before. He made his with Italian sausage, and I had used meatballs. While we were talking, this guy gives me the snake eye... I'm thinking that he is having a problem with me talking too loud on my phone.
My brother continued on about how he was in the store looking at the ground meat without too terribly much enthusiasm, when he saw the sausage and decided to go that direction with his dinner. I interjected how I like the HEB weekly special, and explained that this week they had frozen meatballs. All the while this guy is lookin at me.
"Do they have spicy Italian meatballs?" my brother asks.
"They have Italian," I said, "but they are not spicy. They like have Italian seasoning in them. They were tasty."
And, I'm lookin at this guy thinking that I'm going to have to ask what his problem is and throw down. You can't show weakness on the Metro... its a jungle out there, and they can smell your fear. So, we reach my stop and I'm walking out... the guy... did I mention he was pretty big... well, this guy taps me on the shoulder and I think "here it goes," when the guy hands me two $10 gift certificates to Prima Pasta. He says "Here, you might like these."
*SNAP* back to reality... oh there goes gravity... Oh there goes Rabbit.... find your civility...
"Hey," I said. "Thanks dude, that's really nice."
He just smiled, and I finished my trip home through the Crime Free Montrose.
And that's how I got two gift certificates for $10 off at Prima Pasta. I can't wait to try the place out..
