This is a conversation about a foot-long pen with a zebra-shaped head whose name is Charlie.

  • Me: That's a very nice pen you have there.
  • Jersey Mike's guy 1: This is Charlie and he's a zebra.
  • Me: And where did Charlie come from?
  • Jersey Mike's guy 1: Charlie came from a man who sells pens, who sometimes buys sub sandwiches here.
  • Me: I think I'll use Charlie to sign my receipt... except Charlie doesn't seem to work very well.
  • Jersey Mike's guy 2: That's because Charlie only works on bags.
  • Jersey Mike's guy 1: Charlie was born in a bag, you see, so he only writes on bags.
  • Me: Oh.
