LOOKING FORWARD TO March
Forty states in a year
I been to forty states in a year.
I picked up a guy who had been to forty states last year.
“Oh, are you a pilot? I asked.
“No,” he said chuckling.
“Which one was your favorite?
“Idaho. I enjoyed the parks there.”
We drove past some cars that had been hijacked and left on the side of the road.
“People have been having their little hay days with cars in Minneapolis,” he said.
Funniest ๐ ๐คฉ game ever
I talked with my friend Erica again .I call my ride-share clients “friends” after I pick them up several times.“Have you had a conversation with your brother since the last time I saw you?”I asked Erica.
(Erica and I have had several conversations about her military brother who is according to her quite eccentric and rude)
“No I haven’t spoken to him , thank god,” she said in a chiding-fashion.
(An idea about traveling flashed through my mind since I’ve had several days off my full-time job)
and I asked her if she had ever traveled internationally.
“ yes I’ve been to London and Spain,” she said.
“did you ever travel outside of London?” I asked.
“ yes I’ve been to the city of ๐ Bath”
“wow, me too!” I said.
“Yes , when I was there we went to the bar and we played the penis game.”
Erica didn’t describe the game but she said:
“by the end of the night everyone was shouting penis penis! And my friend was like ‘Oh, ‘I’m so glad I brought you to London.”
She continued by saying, “And when I was in London someone on the train ๐ once said “ get your foot ๐ฆถ off me, you fucking cunt! And I was happy ๐ง thinking how this happened in London.”
(while I’m sitting thinking ๐ค how I should tell Erica how polite the Londoners are)
And so I just go with the flow and say:
“Someone offered me a raincoat while I was in London.”
“Oh yeah, londoners are so polite,” she said,
“ when we were leaving the bar, I was pretty drunk and pleaded with an officer saying ‘oh please help me !and the officer gave my friend and I a ride to the train station.”
I told her about a time I felt especially flirtatious in London I was at the mall and there was two mall cops (and I always tell people this story )but I asked them a to take the picture of us and they were like:
‘who do you want to take the picture? and who do you want to be in it ?and I was like I want YOU to be in it (pointing to the handsome British chap) and you can take it” (I said to the redhead that look like Prince ๐คด Harry) ”
(What happens in London stays in London seems to be the lesson in that story)
You meet some people in your work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, never a dull moment.
DeleteI love the gif! The best conversations happen in cars, so I'm fully with you on calling some of those ride-sharers friends.
ReplyDeleteThe penis game? I'd not heard of it but a quick google cleared up the mystery. It started life as the bogies (nasal mucus) game on a kids' TV show. You have to shout the word out in public, whoever shouts it loudest wins.
Bath is an absolutely beautiful city - I hope you both enjoyed visiting there.
lol, I never found out what that game was and was glad you cleared that up.
DeleteI love how you share conversational tidbits here! It's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week and "record" a few more for us!
