Conversation of the Day

Old guy: “Where did you say you were from?”

Fat guy: “Mansfield.”

Old guy: “Is that new?”

Fat guy: “Mansfield? No.”

Old guy: “Oh. What’s that place down there? It’s been there for years?”

Fat guy: “Lee’s?”

Old guy: “No.”


This conversation took place between two guys who may have had no idea what they were talking about. The old man asked if Mansfield was new, as if he had never heard of it, and then preceded to ask about a business, probably a restaurant, in Mansfield. It should be pointed out, that Mansfield, Texas is over 100 years old, and has a population of over 50,000 people. Also, there is no business named Lee’s anywhere in Mansfield.
