I just absolutely love this guy's sense of humor.
It is just so.....sharp and real. In almost every paragraph he has a
dry, somewhat cynical, but always humorous outlook on the common things
in life around us.
"She enjoyed the notion that New York was home, and that
she missed it, but in fact the only thing she really missed was
pizza. And not just any old pizza, but the sort of pizza they
brought to your door if you phoned them up and asked them to.
That was the only real pizza. Pizza that you had to go out and
sit at a table staring at red paper napkins for wasn't real
pizza however much extra pepperoni and anchovy they put on it.
London was the place she liked living in most, apart, of
course, from the pizza problem, which drove her crazy. Why
would no one deliver pizza? Why did no one understand that it
was fundamental to the whole nature of pizza that it amved at
your front door in a hot cardboard box? That you slithered it
out of greaseproof paper and ate it in folded slices in front
of the TV? What was the fundamental flaw in the stupid,
stuck-up, sluggardly English that they couldn't grasp this
simple principle? For some odd reason it was the one
frustration she could never learn simply to live with and
accept, and about once a month or so she would get very
depressed, phone a pizza restaurant, order the biggest, most
lavish pizza she could describe - pizza with an extra pizza on
it, essentially - and then, sweetly, ask them to deliver it."
"She wished that when she opened them
again there would be a sign in front of her saying "This way
for Norway" which she could simply follow without needing to
think about it or anything else ever again. This, she
reflected, in a continuation of her earlier train of thought,
was presumably how religions got started, and must be the
reason why so many sects hang around airports looking for
converts. They know that people there are at their most
vulnerable and perplexed, and ready to accept any kind of
guidance."
" Kate's spirits sank to the very bottom of her being and
began to prowl around there making a low growling noise.
It now transpired that the man in front of her didn't
actually have a ticket at all, and the argument then began to
range freely and angrily over such topics as the physical
appearance of the airline :heck-in girl, her qualities as a
person, theories about her ancestors, speculations as to what
surprises the future might have in store for her and the
airline for which she worked, and finally lit by chance on the
happy subject of the man's credit card.
He didn't have one.
Further discussions ensued, and had to do with cheques,
and why the airline did not accept them."
Its just...just life..things that happen to everyone. But his characters
always seem to have a unique perspective on the situation that lends a
sort of ironic humor to the whole thing :)
Don't you agree?
^_^
Yes..its a slow day here at the office lol.
