comedy trickles in

from another room...someone is watching "Kevin Smith: Burn In Hell," and he (mr. Smith) is talking about people holding up some protest signs. Some homophobes hold up ones that say "God hates fags." Some highschoolers hold up ones that say "God hates homework." And his favorite, which is a sign that says, "Why did God cancel Pushing Daisies?" triggers a memory of when I worked at a restaurant and a young server came up to me and earnestly went into the plot of a show about people who loved each other but couldn't touch each other (because...then they'd kill each other!) Why on earth is this girl so intense about explaining this show to me??? I remember thinking....
