Coffee Talk

My great friend, AN, took me out for some coffee talk today, and it was so nice catching up!  I know I often mention the characters that I encounter in New York, so when AN got pulled into the following conversation with a fellow Starbucks patron this morning, I knew I had to make note and share with you all that there are also some seriously quirky people in Los Angeles.  (Like you needed me to tell you that, I'm sure!)

Enjoy, and please make sure as you read to picture me sitting next to AN throughout the whole conversation, trying my hardest to not just laugh at the ridiculousness of it all...

Him:  Hey, excuse me, do you know how to put Facebook notifications on to your Blackberry?
AN:  Um, I don't actually...I have an iPhone.
Him:  Oh, okay.  I'm not very technologically advanced.  I just got this phone when I got out of prison, so I'm still trying to learn it.
AN:  Oh, well that's cool.  Good luck with it.
Him:  Yah, thanks.  When I went into prison, I had Sprint, and so I just kept the plan and gave it to my little brother, so when I got out of prison, I got my phone back from him and it was this, like, five year old phone.  It was like ancient by then.  So I just got this thing, and I don't know how to use it.  But I did take computer classes while I was in there - prison, I mean - because I mean, I had three years, so I might as well have used them to learn something.
AN:  Oh.  Um well yah, I've always thought that if I ever got arrested, which I never would, of course, that I would learn a language or something if I had to be in jail.  That way I'd work at bettering myself in some way.
Him:  Oh yah, I learned a language while I was in there. 
AN:  That's cool.  What'd you learn?
Him:  I taught myself how to speak N'ahuatl.  That's the language of the ancient Aztecs. 
AN:  Oh.  Well that's useful, I'm sure.
