I'm heading from work out to Salt Lake City to see Camille. Last time I was out there we went to a so-so international food restaurant.

The table next to us had a group of about ten people, give or take. They were discussing how appropriate it is to concern yourself with grammar minutae and whether or not you could derive the intelligence of someone from the correctness of the grammar that they use.

I know they were talking about this because they were speaking very loudly. Particularly this one man (who felt that grammar was indeed a good gauge to use to measure one's intelligence on a first meeting.

Then, for just a moment they got quiet. Quiet enough for me to hear the guy in the table behind Camille say, "Why is it that there is a loud guy at every table?"

Luckily, the loud guy at the other table didn't hear him.

As you can tell, I live a very exciting life.

But it's true, though, isn't it? There is a loud guy at every table.
