I was eating lunch at a favorite Turkish restaurant. I was the only customer and was overhearing the restaurant staff talking amongst themselves.

One of them was saying that his old beater needed repairs that cost more than the car’s current value.

My waiter, a young man in his early 20s, said “That’s why I bought a new Lexus.”

My twentish waiter bought a new Lexus?!?

My thoughts were spinning between
a) how can my waiter afford a Lexus? and
b) have I made the right life-choices?
