Pick-Up Line!

Great moment today. I'm at Woody's on Harrison and Trowbridge meeting a friend for lunch. Standing near the drink counter, I am checking my email on my phone. Businessman in mid-thirties: "Am I in your way?"
Me: "No, sorry." (Tries to move to the side, out of his way.)
Businessman: "I could be, if you wanted me to."

What, dude? Like, seriously. Huh what?
I would just like to mention that I was in men's jeans and a hoodie. Not my sexy business-lady self or anything. I suppose he was just joking. I have no idea what was going through his head.

Your father has every idea what was going on in his head.

Oh, Papa. Perhaps I'm naive, but I truly do think there are males out there who don't actually want to have sex with me.
Seriously, men's jeans and a hoodie. Hair in a bun. Does this turn on businessmen? Perhaps it does. I have never been one.

reminds me of a while back, I was in the bread store, & the guy ahead of me was just hitting on the check-out girl, who was doing her best to side-step him, without coming down on him. He was relentless, & frankly embarassing. After he left, I said "can I just pay you for my bread & not hit on you?" She said "Yes, & thank you very much."

It's not about *you*, darling. The male brain is simply devoted to sex. For example:

Oh, glory. Fine, fine. I just have to say...stupid way to try. :)

Charlie said...

Well, yes, a stupid way to try. Having a brain devoted to sex doesn't leave much room for intelligence, planning, compassion, that sort of thing. Have pity on us poor beasts.

World's greatest pickup line (#2 under "Literature").
Thanks to Ally for this one.
