Just check out the sig line… * * * “Jesus Mary Joseph…you’re a biker chick!” - co-worker, upon hearing of my tattoo. ---

This one has been brewing in my mind for years. At El Camino College in Torrance, CA, there was an event on a Sunday one Spring, called “Chocolate Sunday.” Among the items on the program was a group of kids in Civil War uniforms playing “Yankee Doodle.” I was in a restroom at the time, and I sang, “Yankee Doodle went to London, riding on a turtle;/Turned the corner just in time to see a lady’s girdle!” I didn’t know someone was in a toilet stall until I heard a male voice say, “You’re weird, man.” 😃 ---

Once, I was walking through the Commons with a friend. We were talking about a fictional character, and I asked if another character thought he was a psycho. This woman who was walking her dog about 10’ ahead of me whirled around and said in this very angry tone, “Did I just hear you call someone a psycho who isn’t here to defend himself?” 😕 I told her I was not talking about a real person, and she said, “Oh yeah, that’s GREAT!” and stormed off. In her wake, I said to my friend, really loudly, “Isn’t eavesdropping still considered very rude?!?” ---

Well, as long as we’re here. . . This happened years and years ago, when I still had hair. I was in a neighborhood restaurant with my wife and another couple. I ordered a glass of wine and the waitress asked to see my ID. I gave her my driver’s license, she examined the picture minutely, then handed it back with the comment “you’re an attractive man.” We were all too surprised to say anything. Afteward, of course, I came up with the perfect response: “thanks, you should see me in person.” ---

Well, **dougie\_monty** bumped it, and has been a member since 1999… Maybe he just spent six years composing his post. ---
