overheard at Lucca’s Deli
December 21, 2008We were in SF for some shopping, and needed a little something to fortify us for the duration. More and more people squeezed into the tiny space. An elderly gentleman seemed to be a regular, and like us, waited patiently for his order. From time to time he greeted other customers.
Another white-haired fellow breezed in, went straight up to him and said, ‘Hey, aren’t you Bernie Madoff?’
The first guy was a bit taken aback. But a minute or so later, he took off after the other, who was back examining the vast cheese selection. ‘Hey you,’ he shouted. ‘You look more like him than I do!’
