Overheard at Shopsin's

Anyone who has visited the three incarnations of Shopsin's, or seen the documentary "I Like Killing Flies," knows that lovably eccentric restaurateur Kenny Shopsin serves up a side of hilarious, often insightful wisdom along with specialties like "slutty pancakes." Yesterday was no exception.
Kenny: "Celebrity Rehab? What's that?"
Patron: "It's a reality TV show about washed-up addict 'celebrities' trying to get clean."
Kenny: "So they're all junkies?"
Patron: "And alcoholics."
Kenny: "What people like you and I had the good sense not to become."
Patron: "Exactly."
Kenny: "You know, I went through my drug phase, but I was able to live life, hold a job, and get through it like a normal person. Then I moved on. But it was a lot of fun. I'm seriously considering getting back on drugs someday."
