Overheard #1

The first in (possibly) a continuing series.

In a theatre, just as the lights are dimming for the opening scene, a man seated behind me who obviously has a glaring lack of knowledge of how the theatah, sweetie dahling, works says:

"I don't know why they need a stage manager. They only have 3 chairs and a table."

UPDATE I was tempted to turn around and say, "Might I suggest, sir, that you adopt a slightly less literal interpretation of the job title?"
