Two waiters at a slightly trendy cafe.

The Skinny One with attitude and a green corduroy jacket: “Coming to work this morning I saw the perfect picture of Baltimore.”

Friendly One with a navy sweater: “You mean ironically perfect?”

“Yeah. I was a bicycle chained to a tree with no seat with an open bottle of Crown next to it and dog shit.”

Friendly One pauses and gives a satisfied chuckle. “Thanks, I enjoyed that.”

I am a misanthrope. No one ever believes me, but this seems to prove my point.
