Today there was a long delay between the time the healing angel was supposed to get out of his job at Dunkin Donuts and the time he actually did. He felt bad about this (I was his ride home, so I'd been waiting), so he brought me a donut:

Whereupon the following dialogue ensued. See if you can find the error.

Me: Is it for ... football?

Him: No, it's for, I think, Ortiz? He's a Red Sox player? Maybe their ... pitcher? That's his number.

Me: So . . . did he do something?

Him: I think maybe he's retiring?

Me (eating donut): Oh. Well, he's delicious. How did you find all this out, about Ortiz and all?

Him: Well, the donut is labeled "Ortiz" in the racks, and I think I heard somebody else talking to a customer about it.

The error
~~Daniel~~ David Ortiz is a hitter, not a pitcher. In researching this post, I also discovered that he made an ad with Dunkin Donuts, and the ad won them an award. ... Hurray?

I'm not a sports fan of any type, and I managed to avoid awareness of the fact that today is Super Bowl Sunday until about a week ago, and it was only with prepping from my sister that I could remember the teams involved

I loved this story, from yesterday's Only A Game, about how the Seattle Art Museum and the Denver Museum of Art are getting into the spirit of the competition:

"Seattle, Denver Museums Wager Works of Art on Super Bowl"

If Denver wins, then Kako Tsuji's "Sound of Waves"--with a picture of an eagle [very close, imagewise, to a seahawk]--will go to Denver:

If Seattle wins, then Fredrick Remington's "Bronco Buster" will go to Seattle:

The interviewer gave the art directors a chance to trash talk each other at the end of the interview but wow, that's a skill that's not in the art directorial portfolio, clearly.
