A Quote: middle class

‘Poverty line is set so low the middle class cannot all be squeezed in; one has to kick one’s nose through dirt to be eligible for the dole.’

Overheard at Joe’s Bar, South Hall

One customer in his thirties: I went for a pillow fight, by the Arch, you know the joint, old gym shuttered up? Well the rule tells you gotta bring your own pillow. So I lifted one from the sidewalk and you know what! The pillow was stuffed with greenbacks- and bills flew all over the place and the fight had to be called off. Such a ruckus, such scramble!’ He sighs and reaches for his hooch.
The second helps him to hold his glass,’Steady now, That is how you are in braces and head in bandages?’
‘Oh no, Sam,’ the first spits a tooth before speaks,’I went back for the mattress. I almost had the stuffing out. But …tough luck it was occupied.’

overheard at the bar: aid to memory

The customer,’I have problem remembering birthdays, anniversaries. So I’( baring his sleeves) have them all tattooed here.’
The second equally soused,’I have the problem too. So I had my missus and the four brats the dates done.’
The first (grinning),’So you make them all line up for inspection before the day starts?’
The second,’Oh no! All I need look at the faces. And I know what is what.’
