The silly seconds of your life when the glimmer on the asphalt makes you stop unexpectedly, move deliberately, and think philisophically.

Who's The Lucky Guy?
I was out running errands yesterday, and one of my stops was the grocery store. I hadn't really taken time that morning to fix up, had no make up on, didn't fix my hair after my shower, and just threw on a tshirt, jeans, and tennis shoes. I was standing in the laundry aisle when a man starting talking to me. He gave me a compliment that put me on cloud 9 all day. He walked over to me and said, "tell your husband he's got a good thing going on." At first I didn't hear what he said (honestly, I didn't), and asked him to repeat. Then he said, "tell your husband, I'm sure a girl like you is married, that he's got a good thing going on. He's a lucky man." I blushed a bit, realized it was a complete line, and responded, "I'm not married" then quickly added "but I'll tell the guy that I am seeing." I didn't want to leave the guy an opportunity to ask me out if he found out I was single. As sweet as his compliment was, he wasn't someone I'd be interested in dating. I typically go for guys with a few more teeth. But still, I was very flattered.

I wonder how many times the toothless hobo has used that line? Still if it made you happy for a day then he is clearly performing a social service. Next time warn him you have a fierce dog at home! Grrrrr! Wooof! DOWN DARBY!
I take 'em when I can get 'em.
