Barely Passed The Cafe-Location Quiz

Mid-afternoon yesterday, on my way to the Subway sandwich shop, I passed a business-owner on the sidewalk as he prepared to remove the portable sandwich sign highlighting his restaurant to the passing lunchtime crowd.

Eyeing the Gargantuan Refill Cup I was carrying (which identified me as a Subway customer) he accosted me. He asked: "Excuse me, do you know where the Marika Cafe is?"

Pointing vaguely up and down the sidewalk, I replied: "The Marika Cafe? It's located um, around about, um, uh...." Finally, I realized we were standing directly in front of the cafe. I added: "It's located right here!"

"That is correct," he replied. As he walked away, he added: "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
