I’m in Starbucks. Put my bag down on a table, waited on line, got my drink, returned to the table. There was a teenaged girl on one of the seats. I looked at her and said, “I’m gonna have to charge you $5 to sit there.”
She looked at me and frowned. “What do you mean?”
“No,” I said. “I’m just kidding.”
She didn’t laugh. Just turned away.
I am an old man.
