an old friend of mine from college usedto give each other challenges
(why is my space bar fukkign up??)
one time he chllenged me to pick up a girl without saying a word
so we were in the student uniobowling alley
first approach was.. well, charades don't work very well if only one of you knows you are playing
second approach i walked over to this coed
so i sat down at her wobbly little table and pulled out a notebook
start writing out hello how's it going??
passed the pad to her and she wrote "hi"
then i wrote back somethign
and she wrote back a reply
it wasn't til the third exchange
she wrote "can you talk??"
"laryngitis - can't talk for 48 hours"
so she was considering this, started to write something and then said..
"can you hear?" i nod "then why was i writing back to you??"
i didn' thave a good answer forthat
but this girl was trying to "study' in the bowling alley so...
then i asked for her number, she wrote it donw
then said "call me when you can talk"
so i bid her adeiu
my friend was like
when i showed the notebook with ehr number
he hadn't expected me to play the laryngitis card
we were some fools back then
i might try that again just for old times sake
