Mirage 10-20 conversation
10-20 Mirage table.
Woman1, who must live in Vegas, is in the 2 seat. I'm in the 3 seat, minding my own business. Woman2, a Strip dealer, is in the 4 seat. Woman1 has spent the day shopping for shoes. She is discussing her shopping excursion with Woman2 in all its detailed glory--which stores have cute shoes--which stores have hot shoes--which stores have shoes on sale--which stores have shoes that are cute, but not cute on her (they would be cute on Woman2). Dealers push; I fold hands; the conversation rolls on and on. Woman1: (sardonically) "You must be fascinated with all this talk about shoes." Me: "Shoes must be a girl thing. Even when I was a bachelor on the prowl, I never paid much attention to what shoes a woman was wearing." Stunned silence. Woman1: "Really? How did you know which girls to f*ck?" Me: (befuddled) "Uhh.........." Woman2: "Good God!, you didn't try talking to them, did you?" |

Re: Mirage 10-20 conversation
Great post.
The shoe thing is because, in general, women dress to out do other women. Men are just the sidebar, or the idiot bystanders. [ QUOTE ] Woman2: "Good God!, you didn't try talking to them, did you?" [/ QUOTE ] Priceless. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] -Zeno |

Re: Mirage 10-20 conversation
I thought for a minute I knew who you were talking about but I am sure she wouldn't used the f word at the table.

Re: Mirage 10-20 conversation
Zeno, I'm not going argue with you about this phenomenon. However, this post brings a good question to mind. If women really are like this, why be a lowly poor scientist when there are so many perks to being a rich and powerful businessman?

[ QUOTE ] Woman1: (sardonically) "You must be fascinated with all this talk about shoes." [/ QUOTE ] I think you meant sarcastically? [/ QUOTE ] I used sardonically because there was no bitterness in her remark, although there was an element of mockery--perhaps self-mockery. Facetiously crossed my mind, but I rejected it because, at least to me, it can connote a degree of failure in the attempt at humor. I learned long ago not use the word jocularly on these forums. I think ironically might have been a choice we could all have lived with, but saw it as having becomed hackneyed through overuse by english majors. The only other word I considered was jestingly, but it evokes clownishness and I didn't want to evoke clownishness. How does the poll thingy work? |

That was the single greatest reply to a grammar-nazi post that has ever been. Well played sir.
