I saw Enrico Dandolo at a marketplace in Venice yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for economic advice or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out of the plaza with like fifteen jewels in his hands without paying.

The girl at the stand was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the stand.

When she took the jewels and started appraising them as a whole, he stopped her and told her to price them each individually “to prevent any misappraisal,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she appraised each jewel and put them in a pouch and started to fill out the business forms, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
