"It is of no concern to you!"
Every day on my twice-a-day commute, I pass this place called Malani Enterprise. It's a fairly obscure building surrounded by mechanics' shops and small warehouses.
But it's the sign outside that catches my eye. It reads:MALANI ENTERPRISE
CANDIES - MOTOR OIL - MEDICINE
CANDIES - MOTOR OIL - MEDICINE
For months I've been driving by this place, trying to figure out the connection between candies, motor oil, and medicine. Today, my curiosity got the best of me, so I called them up. A woman answered ...
Her: "Malani Enterprise."I felt like I was having a phone conversation with the frickin' Soup Nazi. Candy, motor oil, and medicine my ass. I wonder what really goes on in that building.
Me: "Hi there! I was wondering what kind of business you're in ... what you sell."
Her: "Are you a business owner? We only work with businesses."
Me: "No, I'm not a business owner. I just drive by your place every day..."
Her (cutting me off): "IT IS OF NO CONCERN TO YOU!"
Me: "Well I just ..."
Her (realizing how that must have sounded): "We only work with other businesses, so if you do not own a business, there is no reason for you to be asking about us or calling us, because we cannot help you."
Me: "Um, okay."

give me their phone number, AND ILL GET SOME SOUP!
DAMN! Now I'm curious. Maybe I'll call and tell them I run a small store that sells a little of everything (See? Then they'd have to give me more information).
There's a used car lot we pass on the way to our house, and it's ALWAYS crawling with people (men) most times of day and night. I've never seen them sell a car though. I'm guessing drugs. They NEVER sell a car!
Time to get that Lois Lane Nosy Reporter refresher training, Kate :-)
