kevin - ivory

today i was enjoying a nice quiet lunch at the cerverjaria and i witnessed an interesting transaction at the adjacent table. two very distinguished looking older gentlemen were enjoying a beer and speaking quietly. they were impeccably dressed and had finely trimmed white beards. a younger, sketchy looking, wirey dude shows up and joins them. at this point they were certainly an odd looking threesome. after several minutes the most recent guest pulled out three pieces of ivory and sold them to one of the older gentlemen for 150-200 euros. he wrapped the bills up and rubber-banded them and put them into his breast pocket. they then proceeded to leave the ivory on the table for the duration of their conversation.
