Revelation

The other night I was watching that episode of Seinfeld where something, something, something, and then Kramer said “Why do they ask you for your phone number at Radio Shack when you buy batteries?” Remember that one?

A while ago Joe told me that whenever someone random asks him for his phone number like that, he gives them our neighborhood pizza parlor’s number. I don’t know why, maybe because it's easier than having to make one up each time. I started doing this too, especially when the cashiers at NY&Co. started asking me for mine. I never understood why they did this until the day I was checking out at Bath & Body Works and the girl was all “Can I have your phone number so we can send you coupons?” And I was all “How are you going to send me coupons by phone?” And she was all “The computer looks up the address based on the phone number.” And then the clouds parted and the sun came out.

I have to go to Tonino's now and pick up all of my coupons.
