Tobacco, Sundries, and Advice



So I run across this place tucked into a small corner near Nationals Stadium, and immediately I am intrigued. Advice? I need some. I look on the Dude's price menu but there is no price listed for counsel.

I go up to the guy (who does look like the picture, by the way), sitting in a chair, arms crossed, and I inquire about how much he charges for advice.

"Free," he says.

I pour out my troubles. Been dating this woman, things are going really well until she abruptly stops returning my messages. Should I contact her?

Dude shakes his head. Doesn't even uncross his arms. "That ship has sailed."

I thank him and buy a Peroni.

The Dude has spoken. So shall it be done.
