Overheard by Brett in the men's washroom at Vangeli's Tavern . . .

Brett (noticing a button on the floor): "Looks like someone lost a button."

Drunk, possibly high, 50-ish guy at next urinal: "If I lost a button, I'd take it to my mom and say, 'Mom! Sew on my button.' And she'd say, 'Sew it yourself! Can't you sew your own button?' I'd say, 'Yeah, mom! I can sew my own button!' But that's just my mom. She's f**ked. She's 89."
