Two couples at the (Thai) restaurant:

 1) A (late middle-aged) (very overweight) (white) couple, who got some crab rangoons as an appetizer and who both ordered the standard fried rice, but with little or no vegetables at all. They say that they used to work at the car dealership on the other side of town back when it was under a different owner, and they used to get that take-out all the time, so now that they're back in town for a bit, they had to come by and get some.

"So is it the same like you remembered it?", I was like.

"Oh yeah," they were like.

2) A (hunched-over) (very dark skinned) (Arab-looking) guy with stubble, across from a(n elegant) (tastefully veiled around her neck and head) (Arab-looking) woman, and the guy says that he did his nuclear engineering Ph.D. back at the local university like eight years ago, and he "spent a lot of time here," so now he had to take his wife here, while they're in town.

"I'm showing her everything," he was like.

And, we get to chatting, and she's an MD, and she'd never been through this city, before.
