Upon leaving Greenblatt’s Deli with my friends Marcus and Nikki…

Marcus: Next time I’ll have to take you to MY deli.

Me: What’s your deli?

Marcus: Canter’s.

Me:  Everyone’s deli is Canter’s.  Geeze.  Stop being so mainstream.

Marcus: Sorry, we can’t all go off the the beaten path.  TO SUNSET BOULEVARD.

Nikki: Oh, I know why there are so many black people.  It’s Chocolate Sunday!

*Note: during the above pause, no mention of black people was made by anyone in this conversation.  Nonetheless we were further enlightened.
