In line yesterday @ Fillipe's, a restaurant in Harvard Sq.

me: Sorry for staring, you look just like someone I know. But ...you're not him.
stranger: I hope he's a nice guy.
me: Ex-boss, actually and yeah, he's nice. Aside from being a Republican.
stranger: [pause] What's wrong with Republicans?
me: Dude, I only have a half-hour for lunch.

So ...a funny thing happened to me yesterday...
