Mike du Jour by Mike Lester for November 30, 2024

This wraps up the Tipping rerun week originally from July 2023.

Nuff, err, said!

Waitress:

Old Joe: Give me a smile, Jenna. Nobody makes strawberry chocolate pie the way you do. Wednesday’s my favorite day of the week ‘cause I get to have a slice of it. I think about it as I’m waking up. Could solve all the problems with the world, that pie.

Jenna: You’re making too much of it. It’s just a pie.

Old Joe: Just a pie? It’s downright expert, a thing of beauty. How each flavor opens itself one by one, like a chapter in a book. First the flavor of an exotic spice hits you, just a hint of it. Then you’re flooded with chocolate, dark and bittersweet, like an old love affair. And finally strawberry, the way strawberry was always supposed to taste, but never knew how. In fact, I’ll tell you what. Forget all the other stuff I ordered, just bring me the d.a.m.n pie. That’s all I want. I don’t care if it isn’t a well-balanced meal, just bring me the pie. Old Joe’ll maybe not have much longer to live, you know?

Jenna: Then I’d better bring you the pie right away.

Old Joe: Yessum, you better.
