It just so happens that I often believe that all of the bullshit that comes out of my mouth is true.

Like tonight, for example. My cousin is in town from Miami (we’re Cuban) and we go out for sushi for the second time in a few days. The other day, she asked at the restaurant if they had banana tempura and the server said they didn’t.

Of course, I had a perfectly logical theory as to why there wasn’t any Banana Tempura at the sushi restaurant…and in all of Tennessee, for that matter! Miami is much classier and since there are so many Cubans and Hispanics and we love bananas, of course the Japanese restaurants there will cater to us. Americans don’t eat Bananas as often so Tennessee sushi restaurants don’t make banana tempura.

Well, tonight at Fin Fusion (a different sushi restaurant), Kelly once again says to me, “I wonder if they have Banana Tempura”. And once again, I start laughing and tell her that “of course they don’t! this is Tennessee not Miami”. Okay, so fast forward to the end of our dinner and Kelly asks the cute Asian lady, “you don’t have Banana Tempura, do you?” …… Immediate response: “Yes! Of course we have banana tempura!”
