Smooth Jazz
While I was waiting for my pizza, I stopped in at the SJ Cigar store to have a look around.
When I walked in I noted to myself the sweet smooth jazz music that was playing.Something similar to this...
There was a gentleman to my right seated at the espresso / hookah bar. With his pizza.
I walked towards the counter where there was a big black gentleman in a spiffy hat and jacket. He was asking the clerk about cigars. He was interested in procuring some for his friends birthday this Sunday.
This was their exchange -
Guy : My Buddy was telling me about these cigars he likes. Starts with a G or something.Clerk : Could be this. ( I don't recall the name of the cigar )Guy : That sounds about right. How are those?Clerk : Well those are alright. Guy : Well I'm trying to get him some for his birthday. And I know that he likes those.Clerk : What would really nice is if you get him something new. Something that isn't such a generic cigar.Guy : Oh really? Clerk : Yeah, that cigar is a cookie cutter cigar. It's not the best of quality. It's alright. It's like saying Starbucks is a great cup of coffee.Guy : Oh okay, well what would you recommend?Clerk : We have this cigar that is from Cuban stock. It's square all the way through and is very mellow and smooth. You can sit back and have a great scotch with it.Guy : How much would 1 of those run me?Clerk : 7 bucks.Guy : And they're smooth right?Clerk : Just as smooth as this guy on the piano.(pointing to the radio and making note of the smooth jazz music, the same that I noticed when I walked in.)
Guy : Oh that sounds nice. But I need 'em smoother than that.
There was some more banter and the Guy left without anything.
It was one of the best exchanges that I have witnessed in a long time.Very Seinfeldian.
My thought was this:"That jazz music was pretty damn smooth. Any smoother you'd be falling asleep behind the wheel."
He must have wanted some of that slow trumpety jazz. * yawn *
