Ice

GROCERY STORE CLERK (to two customers): "I'm sorry sirs, but we're currently out of bagged ice."

CUSTOMER #1 (nattily if eccentrically dressed black gentleman with a fedora sorta hat): "You could just bring out a big barrel of water and let me stick my finger in it."

CLERK (looking utterly baffled): "To--to at least cool off your finger, you mean?"

CUSTOMER #1: "Naw!  To make ice!  'Cause I'm just *cool* like that."

(And you know, he really might have been.)

Sounds like a line from Huggy Bear on "Starsky and Hutch" circa 1975.

And yeah, it was painful dialog back then as well.

But just unexpected enough to make me laugh. Seems like sometimes in my life, it's as though people (everyday, non-reality show, quirky people) are all putting on a show, and I just gotta sit back and watch.

(So long as I don't actually have to play a speaking part, I'm good.)
