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.

About



Sometimes I write things on Nashvillest.com and other times I work a real job that involves lots of airports, hotels, spreadsheets and the occasional pantsuit. Avid roadtripper, lover of redbud trees and firm believer in taking the scenic route. These are a few of my favorite things.

Ask me anything.
