Woman: How old is pug person?!
Me: Oh, three.
Woman: And what is pug person's name?
Me: Howard.
Woman: And who was pug person Howard named after?
Me: A doorman I once had. He looked like a pug.
Woman: Not Howard Hughes? [makes a guttural, exclamatory laugh, like "heh heh heh" but much rowdier; then she sticks her tongue out, not at me so much as if she were at the doctor] Go on, honey!
