TNWBAWTTM Numero Seis

This is the sixth installment of the notebook, I have already made a fifth installment and have yet to publish it, but this was made after the fifth installation.

I have always found a fascination for the employee's at Subway because they have a knee-jerk reaction to automatically put lettuce on any and all meals that they make. That is why I want a minor story arc or side story about how a customer asks for a turkey sandwich with nothing and gets the regular spread of lettuce, tomato, pickle, and dressing. Now, after seeing that the sandwich has fixings on it, the customer in a deadpan style, accuses the employee of incompetence.

My grandfather was a good man. He survived the Great Depression, one story he told me just stuck close to my heart. He had to boil the leather off his shoes and then eat it. That's when I realized that he was a psychotic freak. For you see, he had plenty of money to go and buy something to eat.

Abe Lincoln once said, "you can make some of the people laugh all the time, you can make all of the people laugh some of the time, but you can't make all of the people laugh all of the time." Oh wait I think he was talking about lying to people not about making jokes, my mistake.

I think it would be really cool in a movie or a show to have a new year's ball drop down while counting down and as it hits zero the scene focuses on the ball, then switches frame to a grenade being blown up. I like the idea of new beginning's quickly fretted away by a war.

TNWBAWTTM: Nonsensical Interpretation Of Daily Life

A man walks to his favorite watering hole, the "Rock Bottom" for a drink. He greets the bartender
"dull night, eh Marvin" Lenny, gesturing toward the bartender, who then responds to him by announcing to everyone that the most gorgeous woman was in here looking for Lenny. The bartender noted her soft peachy lips, and her sparkling blue eyes. Surprised, Lenny streams a constant flow of questions toward Marvin. After a few minutes of explaining to Lenny, Marvin proclaims
"there is no funny business going on here. For proof, I can give you the number of the woman. What use would I have of it, I'm married, with my first son coming on the way." Lenny now less suspected of foul-play takes the woman's phone number. In all this, Lenny wasn't told the name of the woman.
"She didn't leave a name, only this number, she sounded desperate to find you. (Pauses. as Lenny heads out of the bar.)
"Wait, This might be a wild goose chase. I don't want to hear on the evening news that one of my regulars was found naked and chained to a bed" He responds by saying
"Don't worry, what's the worst that could happen".

Part two for another time
