Where do you want the TYME Machine to take you?
July 24, 2007
From Brown Pleather Bag at Fair Trade on State Street:
A customer walks in and has no cash. The barister (is that right for guy coffee shop workers?) says she’ll need to visit the TYME machine and go back in time.
The customer asks which year he’d go back to. He said it was a tough question. She said, “sixth grade.”
The customer clarified that the question implied that the time to which the barister must travel be within his own lifetime, not sometime like the 17th century.
Good question.

If I’m not mistaken, a “barrister” — two Rs, mind you — is (merely) a lawyer.
Baristas are *much* more important, generally speaking. But there’s no distinction in spelling between the male and female of the species.
Perhaps you’ve just coined a phrase?
