Some (Germans) at work.

So, the other week at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now, a (young) (vegetarian) (German) professor who I've met before was in again with her (ponytailed) (German) husband.

So, like I sometimes do with foreign-folk, I tried to speak some of their language with them.

"Achtung!", I was like, after setting down a plate of egg rolls. "Das Essen ist heiss."

("Careful, the food is hot.")

Later, she pulled out her smartphone and showed me pictures of a jigsaw puzzle that she got at a "cool" store in a neighboring state, with a trippy and vaguely futuristic mask, rendered in metallic ink, one thousand pieces.

She does jigsaw puzzles a lot for fun, she said.
