The other day, I was getting into my car when a man came up and started talking to me. Now, I like talking to strangers, but I hope I don't end up like this...
Guy: "Hey there, lemme tell you something."
Me: "Huh?"
Guy: "I used to know Balthazar, when this was all his, poor bastard."
Me: "Well that's a sour thing."
Guy: "Lemme tell you something..."
Me: "Actually, I gotta get going, I'm in a hurry."
Guy: "Wait, first lemme tell you something, you've just met the Tinman."
Me: "Is that you?"
Guy: "I used to play harmonica, but I'm very spiritual."
Me: "Well it's a pleasure to meet you Tinman, I gotta go."
Guy: "Lemme tell you something else..."
Me: "What?"
Guy: "Be safe"
I am fond of the idea of making up a novelty name for oneself.
ReplyDeletehey he was caring about your safety, seems like a nice guy.
