I was actually right there when the persian lady made this comment...it was absolutely adorable and i couldn't help but giggle a little bit because she said it SO passionately. she was going with her immediate instinct :)

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Don't be stupid and mess this up. Aaaah, that made my day.

500 smackers for a plane ticket to Texas? That's horrible.

yeah, lace, such is one of the predicaments of living in NYC. tickets for the holiday season, even when purchased 3 months in advance, are expensive enough to necessitate selling an internal organ on the black market...
