first original eva joke in decades i HAD to reblog it

Please stop he is drowning…..

friend who went to bed is a type of dead wife

there was an arbys in the town where i grew up. my family didnt eat there, because we were kosher, and while arby's indeed has the meats, they do not have kosher meats. for whatever reason i never really had friends who went either. but someone had to be eating there, because that arby's always had a full parking lot. i lived in that town for a while as an adult, and stopped keeping kosher, and still didnt go to arby's, because i wasn't in the habit. i never ran into anybody with a bag from there, i never had the "what should we eat" discussion with anyone, even new friends, and heard them say "what about arby's." i thought occasionally about the vast network of people in the town where i lived who did eat at arby's. i sat next to these people in movie theaters, waited with them at red lights, accidentally knocked my grocery cart into theirs in stop and shop. maybe even talked to them in passing. but i was not a part of their world, the world of arby's customers, and they weren't a part of mine, the world of arby's non-customers. they moved in patterns that overlaid my own, but out lives never touched for more than an instant. we remain fundamentally mysterious to each other. this is also how i feel about people who watch good mythical morning.
