Hungry's was a small and narrow place,and a large and wide woman was standing just inside the doors, polishing the counter with a rag. 'Good afternoon,' she said.I said the same thing.'I'm hungry,' she said.'Well, you're probably in the right place.'She gave me a frown and a menu. 'No, I mean I'm Hungry. It's my name. Hungry Hix. I own this place. Are you hungry?''No,' I said. 'You are.''Don't be a smart aleck,' Hungry said.'But it cheers me up,' I said.
