Random conversation

I tend to drop off my mail inside the post office rather than at the mailbox--I've deluded myself that it gets places one day faster that way--and when I'm standing there at the mail slot I can hear the postal workers chatting as they sort the mail behind the P.O. boxes. Today I heard:

Woman: ...and they had shrimp at the smorgasbord.
Man (excited): Oh YEAH?

It made me happy, the joie de vivre.
