Mirage 10-20 conversation

[Phat Mack]

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?"

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.

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.

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?

I think you meant sarcastically?

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.
