castiron[on my commenting that a local restaurant was now open for lunch as well as supper]
Castiron: Yeah, either they're doing enough business to justify it, or they've paid off enough debt that they can afford it.
Spouse: They've paid off enough dead? What?
Castiron: Oh yes. Zombies are of vital importance to the restaurant industry; if they don't support you, your restaurant's doomed. That's why every chef bribes zombies. Why do you think that Zagat starts with Z?

Later over lunch we were stumped by a profound question: are there any actors who have appeared in both a Jane Austen adaptation and a Mel Brooks movie? (ETA: Thanks tolastscorpion, I now know that Cloris Leachman of Frau Blücher fame was in a Sense and Sensibility adaptation that I'd never heard of before.)
