10,000 years. So I said to my co-workers, to be as good as Carlos Beltran is,
I'd have to do parking tickets every single day until the time of Jesus. And
then I'd have to work another 8,000 years!

I was so depressed I bought this ridiculous book, which should be given out
for free. It's about as deep as HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. Nevertheless,
there are a few items of interest.

Pg. 114:
Pastrami has its own ordering nickname, "a pistol." At the Carnegie Deli, you
will hear the servers calling out, "A pistol on whiskey down," (rye bread
toasted) or "A pistol dressed" (Russian dressing and coleslaw on the bread).

The reason is not because pastrami is the king of sandwiches and merits its
own special name. You be the counterman for a moment. What would you make if
you heard a server shout, "Ordering a ..._ami_ on rye to go." Did you answer,
"pastrami"? Or on (Pg. 115--ed.) second thought, do you think it was "salami"?
When you hear the words pistol or salami, there's never any confusion.
