Good Giggle

So many things have happened since my last post. Some were good, some bad and some things came out of nowhere and I have no idea what to make of them. Maybe I will talk about those things tomorrow. I am hoping by then I will have found the humor in it all.

For now, I will tell a short story that gave me a good giggle last week. Some of my friends have already heard it. Too bad for them.

I was outside of work talking to my girl Jigga and on my way back to my office I was one of the officers that work our building part-time. This is the same officer that asked me to hook him up with one of my friends and then punked out at the last minute. I will call him Officer Pimpin' because it is clear that is what he thinks he is doing. I greeted Pimpin' as I was walking past and asked how he was doing.

Officer Pimpin'- Mumble mumble...Better now
Me - Your doing better?
Officer Pimpin' - I said it is getting better now.
Me - Oh, yeah. Is that because the day is almost over for you?
Officer Pimpin' - Its better now that I've seen you.
Me- Yeah. I know a lie when I hear one.

(Eighties alert) Ugh...gag a maggot! He can not be serious. Even if I was single, that would be a terrible pick up line. No wonder he needs help finding someone. His game is weak. I am so glad that he spared my friend the hassle of having to smile through any of those tired lines.

Then I had to wonder why he would even bother flirting with me. I know that I am happily married, but that is not why I wonder because I do joke around with some people, but he is not one of them. Maybe he saw my interaction with them, but there is a big difference them and him. There are some people that I joke with and I am quick with a smile or a cute comment, but that is only when I know the other person has no interest in anything other than a good laugh. I flirt with them because it fun to joke with people who are in on the joke. I NEVER flirt with him because I don't think he would know it was a joke and it is just not as funny if I am the only one laughing.

And believe me when it comes to Officer Pimpin', I would be the one laughing.
