    After going for my daily post-lunch walk today, I stopped into the local coffeehouse to get my daily post-walk coffee (a creature of habit, I am). The girl working the counter seemed in a slump. I was the last person in her line, so after the transaction completed I said, "Have a great day." She replied, "Yeah, have a good day." I then jokingly said, "Hey that's not fair! I said have a great day, but you only said have a good day. We need to be on equal footing here!" She stared at me in confusion for a few seconds and then burst out laughing. Then she said, "Have a wonderful day!" I replied "Have a spectacular day!" And we kept joking about it, increasing the power of the positive adjective to the point where it was absurd. We both then noticed that another customer had gotten in line behind me during this exchange, and he looked at us like we were totally off our rockers. Which, naturally, made us both laugh even harder! :laugh:

        Great. So now this girl is going to stalk you to get her daily fix of the RockStar. Well, at least she can bring coffee.

                                Oh obviously. Of course. You do know that I'm a man don't you, and thus having no interest in stalking you?

                                  -1000 man points to John Simmons for knowing what is there in a women's magazine. Doesn't this whole process of allocating man points make you feel like a professor in Hogwarts.:) I guess I will get a few kid points for that.

                                    And when have you ever seen a woman's magazine? Well, I suppose I could see you reading Chicks with Guns, but anything else? Definitely not.

                                      Oh obviously. Of course. You do know that I'm a man don't you, and thus having no interest in stalking you?

                                      That'd be quite a commute for ya! Though you certainly would rack up the frequent flier miles with all those hops across the pond...

                                        But while you're being all manly, he's impressing chicks. If he wasn't taken, he'd be getting laid and you'd just be sitting there with your manly stories, all alone.... :P

                                          After going for my daily post-lunch walk today, I stopped into the local coffeehouse to get my daily post-walk coffee (a creature of habit, I am). The girl working the counter seemed in a slump. I was the last person in her line, so after the transaction completed I said, "Have a great day." She replied, "Yeah, have a good day." I then jokingly said, "Hey that's not fair! I said have a great day, but you only said have a good day. We need to be on equal footing here!" She stared at me in confusion for a few seconds and then burst out laughing. Then she said, "Have a wonderful day!" I replied "Have a spectacular day!" And we kept joking about it, increasing the power of the positive adjective to the point where it was absurd. We both then noticed that another customer had gotten in line behind me during this exchange, and he looked at us like we were totally off our rockers. Which, naturally, made us both laugh even harder! :laugh:
