This American life
The waiter in the Indian restaurant brings me water.
Me: Do you have anything to read? Like a newspaper or a magazine?
Waiter: Yes, yes.
He hands me a copy of the Post.
Me: Know what? I work there, actually.
He points to the cover, to the pretty actress on it.
Waiter: You? This is you?
The headline reads, "Actress in Death Mystery."
Waiter: Very nice.
Awkward silence.
Me: Thank you.
