I guess I live in a different world (surprise!)

I was eating lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant today and all of the sudden "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" started to play. I stopped and looked around. Nothing. The rest of the diners were oblivious. Granted it wasn't CCR -- maybe "Run Through the Jungle" or "Fortunate Son" -- but still... "Where have all the young men gone? ... Where have all the soldiers gone?" Thirty people eating pho and I'm the only one to stop and say "Qua?".

Sigh.

I wonder if someone else was aware of the inherent irony of the situation but thought it would be unseemly to make an observation.

Really, what would you say to a stranger in that situation? "But damn, we got some fucking awesome chow out of that fucking mess."
