Ballpark dinner

Ballpark dinner

A friend once described Mumbai as "a city of 15,000,000 people, all of whom are on the same street at the same time as you." This occurred to me when I got hungry at the ballpark and saw a branch of Tony Luke's, a cheesesteak place, in the outfield. Sadly, I think all 24,000 people attending the game saw it a few minutes before I did: I couldn't face the scrum. I settled for the dinner you see before you. The pen was merely a means to an end: the kid in front of me had a roast pork sandwich, and I tried to shank him for it with a ballpoint pen, but he was a slippery little maggot. - JF
