Ink and paper

ink-and-paper-zero-dean

Walk up to cafe counter.

Without saying a word, the manager puts a coffee cup down for me. I hand him my card and he rings me up.

This level of efficiency is astounding — and I don't want to mess this up.

"Need the paperwork?" he asks.

I smile, "Nope. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this transaction."

And then I walked away like the ghost of Mitch Hedberg .

Mitch would would be proud.

*Miss you Mitch.

RE: Mitch Hedberg (video )

For reference: Mitch Hedberg's stand-up bit about being handed a receipt for a donut, which is where "ink and paper" comes from. I just borrowed it for a cafe.
