overheard (this one's for Jette)

Out at dinner the other night, a conversation overheard at the next table:

WOMAN: It's fine. One day, he's going to get his comeuppance.
MAN: (startled, spitting his drink)... His... what?
WOMAN: Comeuppance.
MAN: (relieved) Oh. Okay. Good.
WOMAN: What did you think I said?
MAN: That he was going to get Cum Muppets. And I was thinking, damn, Sesame Street sure has changed a lot since I was a kid.

At which point, we spewed our drinks.

I nearly spewed oatmeal, and that's not pretty. But hee! Not sure if Cum Muppets would belong on "Avenue Q" or in Peter Jackson's "Meet the Feebles" or if they are part of Toni's unique universe.

Just spewed coffee here - near my cream-colored sweater, no less!

Thanks for the laugh, though - well worth it...
