ee Chow Chow Cheehaphet runs a small Thai-Korean grocery store in Spanish Harlem. On the best of days he might see 50 people over a span of his normal 22 hour workday. Yesterday, a crowd of over 250 pockmarked Byelorussian sailors on shore leave mistook his kim chee scented store for a brothel and demanded immediate "domestic access." Mr Cheehaphet, already at a loss for words in the English language, a tongue he found more amusing than useful, mistakenly took in over $20,000 in receipts for which he provided 250 bags of Lays Potato Chips.
"Dey say Lay," implored the diminutive Korean as he watched his store trashed by scores of horny sailors. Police eventually were called and all involved had a hearty laugh. Insurance adjusters estimate the damage to the establishment at a half million dollars.
