Today's quote from Jenny Slate's book Little Weirds is: “I was drinking my beer [in the Norwegian airport] and I saw a business lady buying a hot dog, and she was doing this in her business outfit and it was normal to her. In the USA, a businesswoman would not feel so free or dispassionate about buying a hot dog in an airport. I can’t really imagine an American business woman doing this without imagining her either laughing or crying about it. Her hot dog purchase would be a sign of something going on with her. This Norwegian woman was just having lunch.”
Enjoy!
