It's the inconsistencies in life that make it beautiful. A vegetarian who really craves a hot dog isn't a hypocrite. I say that mostly because I'm a vegetarian who really craves a hot dog.

A conversation*:

Me to a customer: And your name?

Him: Bob Herfengeiser.

Me: Can you spell that?

Him: H-e-r-f-e-n-g-e-i-s-e-r

Me: No, I meant Bob.

Him: (blank stare)

Me: I was kidding.

*this actually happened, although last names have been changed to protect those without a sense of humor

The best bittersweetness is wondering if it will ever get better than it is right now.
