Overheard #36

The other morning I was walking down the street with Marni. As usual, she was non-stop talking.

At one point she asked me about the black writing that you see on some trucks. She didn't like it. I eventually figured out that she meant graffiti. I told her that it was writing that some people did on other people's property, and I showed her an example on a nearby wall.

She thought for a moment and then told me it reminded her of when the Jews painted their doors with blood at Passover.

Nice observation, Marni.
