Celebrity Beach

Andy Rooney and Jerry Seinfeld were at the beach recently, where I overheard the following conversation:

Andy: Do you ever think about all the things you can put in a salad? The list is unending, really.
Jerry: Whatever.

A: I like mostly vegetables; plenty of crisp lettuce. Not Romaine. Really ripe tomatoes too.
J: Yeah.

A: I like lots of ingredients; cucumbers, radishes, carrots. I used to like celery, but then I found out was allergic to it.
J: Really.

A: Some people add fruit to their salad. Apples are good, but they turn brown soon after you slice them.
J: Do you ever add sand to your salad?

A: No. That would be wrong. I recently tried avocado. I didn't think I would like it, I don't like guacamole. "Guacamole," that's a funny word, isn't it?
J: Hilarious.

A: I didn't know what to do with the avocado; it didn't come with instructions.
J: You have to peel it and remove the pit.

A: Oh. I ate the pit. I didn't like it. I had to go to the dentist. Now I drool alot because my teeth are out of alignment.
J: Well, now you know.

A: Mmmmm.
J: I just buy salad in a bag. You should try it.

A: Does it come with the dressing in the bag?
J: No. That would be wrong.

A: I like croutons, crumbled blue cheese, and something crunchy. A festival of tastes, textures, and colors.
J: Whatever.

  1. I liked the read. Subtle. On target. What I like even better is the genre.

    You can come back to "Celebrity Beach" anytime you want.

    You take requests?

    Jesse the Body Ventura chats with the Dalai Lama. Please?

    Or just surprise us. You own the beach, dude.

  2. I like it when you call me "dude."

    As requested:

    Jesse the Body Ventura asks, "what's for lunch?"
    The Dalai Lama replies, "lamb."

    JtBV: With mint jelly?
    DL: Sure, why not?
    JtBV: Hellooooo Dalai!

    Except the Dalai Lama was really Myron Cohen.

  3. You're on a roll with this thing.

    You had me going there for a minute ... with the Dalai Lama eating meat. And then ... the surprise ending.

    An emotional roller coaster ride, I'm tellin' ya. In 32 words.

    Thank you also for remembering Myron Cohen, G-d rest his soul.

    You may have been the only person on earth today, including his family, to do that.
