Genova

Today I went into a "delicatessen" to get a "turkey and jack and nothing else on it" sandwich. I took a number -- it's a very popular "deli" -- and waited around. Then I spotted a dime on the carpet. What to do?

Do I pick it up and take it? If someone saw me do that, I'm a cheapskate, who jumps at any coin he sees. Do I pick it up and set it on the counter? Then I'm an anal retentive goody two shoes. So I did nothing. I ignored it. That made me a paranoid jack ass who was afraid of what people thought of him if he picked up a dime. But, only I knew that! At least no one else realized that I was ignoring it.

I'm a genius!
