SPIN
Four men, two probably in their 40s and two probably in their 50s or 60s, and a child of about seven or eight are sitting at a table drinking hot beverages. Conversation revolves around cars for some time before transitioning to sports. Eventually politics and the coming election are discussed. "They're going to elect that Bank of England guy." With near-empty cups, the eldest one starts talking about how "Of course the earth don't spin." Two of the men don't respond but seem approving, or are at least in no position to disagree. The remaining adult asks what he means. "Well, how is it the same constellations every night if you're spinnin'? Spin yourself a top. That thing's all over the place."
YUP
Sitting in the airport, waiting at my gate. Guy sits next to me with his carry-on luggage: one rolling hardcase with a backpack on top, resting against the telescoping handle of the luggage. The backpack is open and stuffed, with two red boxes popping out the top: Tim Hortons donuts. He notices me noticing his treasure. Me: "Donuts." Donut guy: "Yup."
