Overheard at the mall
Clara "Mallrat" Jane and I were sitting on a couch at the mall, enjoying some beverages (milk for her, a Venti percent almond latte for me) when a guy sitting near us hollered, "Hey! You hung up on me! I'm trying to talk to you!" into a nearby store.
To which I responded, "Dude, if you're close enough to yell at the person, why the hell are you calling them in the first place? Save your cell phone minutes, because it's only a matter of time before you need to call the EMTs because you've got your head stuck in something because, you know, you're really not very bright."
Ok, that last part didn't happen. At least, not out loud. But wouldn't it have been funny if it had? He probably would have chased me, and he would have caught me since I only run when I'm being chased, and I never get chased. He probably would have fallen over my slow, slow ass and gotten his head stuck in one of the mall's potted plants. And then who'd be crying about those wasted cell phone minutes, huh?

I wish there was a "say what's in your head to strangers no matter how dangerous" day where we could make all those glib remarks we think of and have there be no repurcussions.
That'd be so cool. As long as people couldn't say them to us.

I'll pay you a nickel if next time you don't hold in and just end up letting it loose.
It's one of those groovy Louisiana Purchase ones too.
