South Bay couple
Last Friday, when I was doing my laundry at the place down the
street, I bought a magazine from the nearby Iranian store, to keep
myself busy. I picked up Tehran,
which is published in LA, I believe. When I sat down to read, I
saw a copy of the New Yorker on the next chair and I began
looking at the cartoons. I actually read a few of their articles
too, which
I
almost never
do. Anyway, I didn't get around reading Tehran. Then today
I got an email from M with a clip from the same magazine
(December 19, 2003). I looked at the above classified ad and I
thought it was hillarious. (There's no time to explain.) So I scanned
it
for
the
Anyway section.
And as I was editing it in Photoshop, M called. I
thanked her for the email and told her I thought the ad about the
couple
was really funny. She said, which couple? The South Bay couple,
I said. She said, "NO! I wanted you to see the ad ABOVE it,
the one about the 'khaanom-e
baashakhsiyat'. What's so funny about
the South Bay couple?" Oh... nevermind.
