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.
