Quick Trip Quip - How to Avoid Speeding Tickets

Quick Trip Quips are those funny witticisms picked up by peripheral hearing during our travels. This entry falls into the "educational" category.

Venue: Caroline's Cafe in Key West Florida - A quality people watching spot if ever there was one.

Players: Two people are sitting at the outdoor bar. To protect the identities of those involved in this Quick Trip Quip, we shall refer to them as:

• Almost Naked Girl - Wearing a bright red lace camisole and thong bottom...Oh, and a very retro-styled tricorne hat; she was extremely inebriated.

• Funny Hat Guy - Rotating a wide selection of decorative head-wear including an overly fuzzy pimp-style hat and one in the shape of a roosting chicken. Funny Hat Guy was the most likely source of Almost Naked Girl's handsome tricorne.

Quip: Almost Naked Girl to Funny Hat Guy, "I dress like this all the time...I never get speeding tickets!"

Post Script: Sorry gents! We didn't manage to capture a picture of this scene.

The Keys and Key Lime Pie

  

It seems that every restaurant in The Florida Keys publicizes their key lime pie as the best.  The key (pardon the pun) is to find one that suits your taste.  Luckily for us, our friend Irene recommended The Cracked Conch Cafe.  On the way back from Key West we split a slice of pie at Irene’s recommended dining spot and it was indeed lovely!  The meringue wasn’t too citrusy; it was sweeter than expected and had the consistency of a cheesecake.  In addition, our slice of heaven came with a crisp graham cracker crust.  It was perfect with Matt’s Cuban coffee and Jenn’s hot tea.  Thanks to Irene for the yummy recommendation!
