    This is a convo I had on the bus a rather crowded bus other day..

    Random man (turns around and looks at me, moves a little closer (we were both standing) and says): Do you type a lot?
    Me: Excuse me?
    RM: do you type a lot?
    Me: Not really
    RM: Aren’t you like a secretary or something? (do I really LOOK like a secretary? LOL)
    Me: I guess you could say that
    RM: So you do type a lot?
    Me: Not really..
    RM: Do you handwrite a lot then?
    Me: (again) Not really.
    RM: So, would you say that 3 handwritten pages equal one typed page?
    Me: I don’t know
    RM: Give me your best guess
    Me: I really don’t know.
    RM: So, do you type a lot?
    Me: Not really..

    Then RM turns around and takes a few steps back to where he was previously standing. I was half expecting him to ask me to type something for him :-D

    So, share some of your random convo’s with me.

    Was at work one day selling the calenders, and this guy was chatting about stone henge and egypt/pyramids...and easter island etc and how the heck they managed to construct such wonders back then...

    After a while he told me he knew the solution, I asked him outright what the answer was, he explained it all in a proud one word response:

    "E.T did it"

    Me: "Aliens?"
    man: "Precisely..."

    and with that, he took off and walked away.

    I didn't know whether to laugh or tell him he had a point! :-D http://bestsmileys.com/aliens/7.gif

    I was with a good friend at K-Mart the other day while she picked up her lay-away for Christmas. I had been looking at TV's while I was there, and thinking about putting one on lay-away, but still am not clear what that would do for me. I guess if I thought I was locked in to it, I would keep paying until it was mine.

    Anyhow, I asked the girl behind the counter about it, and my friend was interjecting, so here it goes. Me, Girl & Friend

    Me: Is there a time limit on your lay-away program?
    Girl: Yes, 8 weeks
    Me: Two months? It almost makes more sense to just save your money for that long.
    Girl:???
    Me: Do you need to put anything down to do it?
    Friend: There are signs hanging that explain it all
    Me: I didn't come here to read signs, she didn't waste her time training to tell me to read them.
    Friend: ???
    Girl: Yeah, 10%
    Me: So a $700 would be roughly $70 down, and $80 a week?
    Friend: Here's another sign with a payment schedu.....
    Me: I don't have any friends, I'm trying to have a conversation here, maybe make a friend. Why are you interrupting me?!?!
    Girl: LOL
    Friend: ???
    Me: I still think it makes more sense not to use the lay-away.
    Girl: It's not for everyone I guess.
    Friend: Can I pay now? You're not even in line!!!

    It was funny, a had to be there kind of thing.. My friend knew I was getting heated, but just joking around, the girl behind the counter probably thought we were legit. LOL

    The man in the other room asked me what I wanted for dinner not long ago. LOL

    By the way Dy, I was expecting your RM to freak not getting the answer he was searching for.

    So I walked up to the check-out counter at our local Kwik Trip with a cup of coffee from their array of dispensers.

    The woman behind the counter says "Gasoline" and I respond "No I gave that up and just have coffee now".

    Good thing none of you are within striking range.

    My trusty truck had broken down one evening, and since this was in my pre cell phone days I had to walk about four miles to get to my brother's house to get some assistance. I was over halfway there when I decided to stop for a break under the shade of a tree by the city cemetery entrance (it was very hot that day). A car pulled up a moment later, and the female driver stuck her head out of the window and asked me

    "Is the cemetery open?"

    I responded with "No, it's closed right now." Bear in mind it was still before dusk, and I was standing in front of the closed and padlocked gate to the cemetery, and right next to a large sign on the fence that clearly listed the grounds hours.

    "When does it open?" the driver asked me.

    "It's open between 6am and 6pm Monday through Friday," I responded (I forget now the weekend hours).

    "Can I get in there now?" she asked.

    "No. It's closed. You need to check with the caretakers and make arrangements if you want to visit the cemetery after hours." Something along these lines was also on the sign, along with a phone number.

    She squinted at me and asked, "Why can't I make arrangements with you?"

    "I'm sorry, but I don't work here," I said

    She looked indignant and said "Well, how do you know so much about their business then!"

    I was trying my best not to laugh . . . and just responded with "Have a nice day, Ma'am," and walked away.

    Haven't thought about that in years!
