I go, I'm gonna go to ShopRite, I'm gonna get a nice Italian bread, I'm gonna make it myself, and then I'm gonna get a quarter pound of Boar's Head roast beef rare, and we're gonna be all set.

So I go in.

And there's one, there's a gentleman, he kind of looks like Eric Roberts from Pope of Greenwich Village.

He's working behind the deli, and it's just him, and he's just kind of shaking.

And he's waiting on this elderly Italian lady, so he's waiting on, I guess, 61, so I take the number, and it's 62.

And I'm just waiting there, and she's like, hi, John, how's your mother?

And they're talking about his mother, and I'm like, come on, I got absolutely nowhere to go, but I'd like to get my roast beef and my roll and get out of here, you know what I mean?

So they're finally done, and I'm like, all right, hey, John, I'll have a quarter pound, and he's like, excuse me, and then this other elderly Italian lady cuts me in line, and they say, how's your mother?

And she's like, he's off dialysis, and they're going back and forth, and I'm like, all right, I mean, I'm a laid-back guy, but I just, I'm getting there, you know?

And so I'm sitting there, and she ordered a lot of stuff for a little lady, and...

So finally, and I'm ready to jump on it, so they say goodbye, and I go, and just as I said, two, like, there must have been twins, elderly, Italian, cut me a line, and they order, like, the whole place, and I'm sitting there, and I'm starting to get pissed off, and, like, as I'm going there, a lot of Hoboken yuppies are, they're gathered around, so there's a lot of people now, and I'm holding on to my number, and I'm starting to shake it,

and and so they're like i tell your mother we said hi he's like i will by ladies and then i'm like and then i just i go quarter pound of boris head right now and he's like excuse me i gotta make a phone call and i just go oh jesus oh jesus and like all the yuppies are looking at me like i'm a jerk and i'm like geez this guy so he goes makes a phone call and he's at least five minutes and he comes back and i know okay there's no i don't see any

All the Italian ladies, just me and the yuppies.

And I got my number.

I'm all set.

So he hits the numbers thing, but he hits it twice.

And he goes, all right, number 63.

And then I just stop.

I go, wait a minute.

I got 62.
