Listen to this. After work, I went to my favorite bakery, Silver Moon, on Broadway and 105th. I was in line and the lady in front of me ordered a loaf of rye bread, but was told they were out of it. Then a woman behind me said, "Hey, this is like that Seinfeld episode with the marbled rye bread." I guess she was referring to the episode where George[?] steals the rye bread from an old lady who buys the last piece. Then it was my turn and I asked for a rustic baguette, of which there was only one left. Then I hear the lady behind me ask for a rustic baguette, but she was told that I had taken the last one, and she raised hell over it -- jokingly of course. I turned to her and asked, "Was this also in a Seinfeld episode?" Oooooh, I was nasty. She was not very amused, and I wonder if the bakery attendants expected me to hand the baguette over to her, but as I told Psy, she was dealt her hand by destiny (and they had other baguettes, just not "rustic"). As I was leaving, she told me, "Enjoy your baguette!" and I said, "I certainly will!" and smiled.
I also got a chocolate croissant for $1. It was heavenly.
