Herbie’s Cookie
One of the most common scenarios for eavesdroppings are discussions between store clerks and customers. Not a new concept. I will pause here for a moment of silence in homage for Kevin Smith’s brilliant debut, “Clerk’s.” In my case, the clerk is asking the same mundane question over and over again, “How’s it going? How are you today? What’s up?”
The customer in line answers,” If you told me when I got up this morning everything I would end up doing today, I would never have gotten out of bed.” True, but what if today you would get to eat Herbie Hancock’s cookie? Would you get up for this?
What if the cookie destined for Herbie Hancock’s Green Room was mercifully pilfered by a clerk for you because there were no more chocolate chip cookies? This could be your fifteen minutes of fame. Take that cookie, devour it and tell everyone you ate Herbie’s cookie.
