The waitress was young and thin, with a bad complexion. She had glasses and wore her hair in pigtails. She was also a nervous blinker, blinking with every word she spoke as she asked what I wanted. I decided that a beer might make me too sleepy to drive, so I ordered a coffee, along with a bacon cheeseburger. When I’d ordered, I glanced down at the fat man and saw that he was staring at me. I nodded, then turned back and looked at the mirror behind the whiskey bottles. But with that first brief glance there seemed to be something oddly familiar about him. So after a moment I glanced back, and he was still sitting there staring at me. He was dressed in an old-fashioned shirt and tie and had a thick cluster of pens in his shirt pocket. Finally he said, “Don’t you recognize me?” “No, can’t say I do,” I told him. He nodded sadly. “How can that be? I’m your uncle.” I frowned at him a moment, then turned back and looked at the mirror. A moment later he said, speaking to nobody, “His own uncle, and he doesn’t know me.” Finally, sighing, he got up and ambled to the men’s room. The waitress came back to pour my coffee. Blinking, she said, “Don’t mind him; he’s crazy. He thinks he’s everybody’s uncle.” I shook my head. “Yes, but he does look familiar, somehow.” “People always say that, too,” the waitress said, blinking the words at me before going back to the serving slot in the wall to see if my bacon cheeseburger was ready.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Matt Hughes" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/matt-hughes/anecdotal-spores-the-crazy-uncle-late-one-cold-and-drizzly-winter/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/94b/matt-hughes-5496_fat-man_anecdotal-spores-the-crazy-uncle-late-on_2077951.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/94b/matt-hughes-5496_fat-man_anecdotal-spores-the-crazy-uncle-late-on_2077951.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/94b/matt-hughes-5496_fat-man_anecdotal-spores-the-crazy-uncle-late-on_2077951.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Anecdotal Spores: The Crazy Uncle Late one cold and drizzly winter night while I was traveling through the…” — Matt Hughes", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/uncle-late/matt-hughes/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/uncle-late/matt-hughes/", "name": "Uncle Late Quotes by Matt Hughes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/uncle-late/matt-hughes/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/94b/matt-hughes-5496_fat-man_anecdotal-spores-the-crazy-uncle-late-on_2077951.jpg" }, "description": "1 Uncle Late quotes by Matt Hughes.
