Okay, I really, really have to work on this Separate Statement In Support Of Motion To Compel Cranial Infarction In Opposing Counsel, but I’m going to take a quick break to share with you an encounter from my lunch hour. Which is really a lunch ten minutes, but hey.
It is a very windy day here in the City of Angels. I walked to the taco store and back, and was frisked and then molested by the breeze. Fortunately, I was wearing pants rather than a skirt, so no Marilyn Monroe Moment.
As I entered the lobby of my building, I saw an old, fat, balding white guy in a suit and suspenders, standing by the elevator, watching me.
“Boy,” he shook his head, “Your hair is a mess!” He walked over to the door and looked out. “Do you think it’s too windy for me to walk to the store?”
“No, you should try it,” I replied cheerfully. “After all, you don’t have to worry about your hair.”
The elevator came just then, and I got on, so I didn’t see his face. But I like to imagine it was shattered.

We just read that scene in the book you gave SilliKid. She’s always asking, “can we read Alice, please?”

For some reason, the description of the man brings Charlie Weaver to mind. Then my father, who is the spitting image of Wilford Brimley.
I love the drive-by response.

Oh perfect! Don’t you love those moments where you DO think of the perfect thing at the perfect time to say it?

Very well-timed comment. Of course, had it been me, I would have figured out what to say about 13 minutes after I departed his company.
I love Laurie Ann’s “drive-by comment”!! rofl
