I arrived at my favorite Mexican restaurant for an early dinner. After stepping inside the door, I removed my jacket and an older, hefty gentleman and his wife walked past me. The gentleman looked down at my shoes and at my belt.
“Young man,“ he said, “you should know by now that your belt and shoes should always match.”
I looked down at my dark gray shoes and brown belt. Then I visually sized him up.
“And by your age, Sir, and with the cross on your lapel, you should know that gluttony is a sin.”
He puffed all up and became agitated. “Gluttony is not one of The Ten Commandments.”
“It may not be one of The Ten Commandments, but it is most certainly noted in Proverbs.”
He became even more angry and said, “I was only trying to point out…”
“And I am pointing out that you need to mind your own goddamn business. You need to learn the difference between Proverbs and a buffet.”
Really?
