Does The 5 Freeway Run Through Loehmann's?
I'm always amazed when people not only lie but do it unabashedly. I was in the Beverly Hills Loehmann's on Sunday, nowhere near the 5 freeway, being tortured by various loud dull women shouting into their cell phones. At least this woman -- well-dressed black woman, about 6'4" -- gave me a laugh from across the designer section. Her phone rang and she barked into it:

Hi...I'm stuck on the 5 freeway. Traffic is just terrible, and I don't think I'll be getting there anytime soon.

It's hard to know whether a black woman's blushing, but her face didn't seem to reflect even a micron of shame. She hung up and went back to sorting through the designer slacks.
