I was in a meat place earlier today, and I overheard the following conversation:
"I thought you were a vegetarian."
(beat)
"I am, I'm an indirect vegetarian."
(at this point, I laughed, the latter speaker caught my eye and smiled, while speaking to the former speaker, who must have apparently had a quizzical expression on his face)
"I eat things that eat vegetables, being the implication."
I'm going to have to use that from now on. I'm an indirect vegetarian.
