Following Chicago Cubs
Pennsylvania Turnpike Rest Stop, King of Prussia–last before Philadelphia
DAD
Glad you’re back, Mother. We hafta point our noses other way. Radio says our beloved Cubs in Pittsburgh, not Philadelphia. Just a jiffy trip.
ATTENDANT
It’s a big state, Sir!
MOTHER
I waited and waited to pee. It’s incompetence here.
GRANDMA (from back seat)
We know big states. Prairies! When it snows you see nothing. Nothing!
ATTENDANT
That’s thirty-four sixteen, Sir.
MOTHER
Give him a good tip, Honey. They’re stupid here and it...
GRANDMA
ain’t their fault!
