I have found in my lifetime that quite a few guys just don’t get my sense of humor. I don’t know why, maybe they aren’t used to women having a sense of humor – but usually it boils down to their lack of humor…or maybe I’m only funny to the other voices in my head. This in and of itself may be what leads me to being the single old lady with 6 cats who mutters to herself and traps squirrels…which I may be ok with.
So low and behold, it did not surprise me one bit when what could have been a flirtatious conversation went south and went south fast!
Enter…Mr. California, white teeth and all.
Him: What do you do for a living?
Me: Real Estate and Web design
Him: Cool, I am in sales and marketing…for a dental and whitening company
(notice, I didn’t even have a chance to ask him what he does)
Me: Oh, teeth whitening, like Milkbones?
Him: (head cock, lost look on face) Did I say anything about pets?
Me: No
Him: Oh…uh, well yeah we do teeth whitening and cosmetic dental work
Me: Do many pet owners use your services?
Him: (getting a little twitchy at this point) It’s not for pets it’s for people….small huff at the end
Me: So where do the milkbones come in play?
Him: They don’t…never mind, well it was nice to meet you.
And fade to black….
Obviously all of his brains are captured in those pearly whites. Duh!! You are single because you are smarter than most men and they can’t take it. Trophy and brains, you got it all.
poor guy was SO confused – probably half an hour later it dawned on him that I was kidding – oh well. I think the pet sitting is getting to me – milkbones on the mind.
