I included variants in my answer (e.g., not whisky but scotch).

  • No, because I rigidly adhere to the rules of games.
  • Yes, because I am the master of my destiny.
  • Atheist Hindu considerations apply.

Was at a breakfast today with my friend Lacho. One of the waitresses and I caught each other’s eye and, eventually, she made her way over.

Speaking Spanish, she starts talking to Lacho (who also speaks Spanish). About 15 seconds in, she asks me if I speak Spanish (in Spanish), to which I answered “Nein”.

She looked me, smiled a bit, then spoke to Lacho before leaving. He then turns to me and says “She says you need to learn Spanish, then come back to ask her out.”

Challenge… accepted!

“Will you translate for me?”

“Sure.” (Lacho grins, is beginning to enjoy this.)

So I wait until she isn’t busy and then wave my hand. She comes back, and Lacho says he is going to translate for me.

Looking at her, of course, I say (pausing so Lacho doesn’t get behind):

“In the movies… this is the moment… where I offer to teach you English… and you offer to teach me Spanish… over dinner and wine of course. I am going to leave my name and phone number… and if you want to have dinner… just give me a text or call…” …pointing at my phone… “…We can figure the language thing later, using this.”

I wrote my name and number on the receipt, and left my business card for good measure.

This was 6 hours ago, the restaurant closes in 30 minutes.

Will she reach out?

  • Yes
  • No

Does anyone believe that Lacho was translating both directions absolutely correctly?

  • Of course Lacho is – He is a good friend and waitresses always want to date the patrons.
  • Lacho may be a joker who may be tricking his friend JohnT.
  • Lacho definitely cannot be trusted to translate in this situation.

Which type of washing machine do you prefer?

  • Front loader (uses less water but doesn’t clean as well)
  • Top loader (uses more water but cleans more thoroughly)

0 voters

Which type of washing machine do you prefer to have in your home

  • Front loader: cleans better and is gentler on you clothes, but is prone to both catastrophic failure and mildew if not cared for
  • Top loader: doesn’t need to seal, so unlikely to either flood the room or mildew, and faster cycle, but chews up cloths and uses more water

Inspired by another thread.

When someone says they “Met online” do think that means something different than “Met online dating?” Are the interchangeable?

  • “Met online” and “met online dating” are interchangeable
  • “Met online dating” only means meeting on a dating site
  • “Met online” only means meeting on some other site not specifically meant for dating
  • “Met online” can encompass all online interaction but “Met online dating” is always specific to dating sites
  • Other
  • I’ve never thought about and will never think about it again after I answer this poll
