Kara is a blond twenty something who works at my neighborhood Walgreen's. Every time I go there? I make it point to say hi and ask how she is doing. It's always fun to watch her smile and tell me that she is doing well. She's also a big fan of the blog. I've thought about asking her out on a few occasions, but I'm not so sure she is feeling it. Besides, if I ask her out and she says no? I'll have to find another Walgreen's to shop at, and I like that one.
The other day I went into Walgreen's and she was working. We exchanged pleasantries and I start in on my shopping list. After I was done shopping I make my way to the check-out line..The guy in front of me was wearing Aqui Di Jour..(My favorite cologne)..Anyways, he had it lathered on pretty thick. Well, he makes his way to the counter and Kara is waiting there to check him out. This is when things got amusing..
The guy had one thing on his mind and it wasn't the Q-tips in his basket.."Hi Kara, how are you today?" Kara is the kind of girl who attracts lots of suitors and I could sense by this guys body language that he was going to make a move.."I'm doing fine Ray. How are you?" Kara is one of the best retail people I have ever known. She remembers every one's name, and always has a smile on her face.."Kara, I was wanting to know something..Would..uh..uh..would..uh..uh..Would you like to go out with me sometime?" I'm standing behind this guy watching him try to get the words out of his mouth. His approach wasn't the smoothest, but he managed, and you got to give him props for that..
"Ray your so sweet, but I've got a boyfriend. I told you that last time you asked me. That will be $12.75. Would you like a receipt with that?" After his offered was rejected? Poor bastard, it looked like someone let the air out of him. He slumbers off and it's my turn to check out..I'll admit, the thought of asking Kara out was going through my head, but after watching her reject the guy in front of me? I decided to save myself from the humiliation.
I like to end every post of mine with a thought I'm having..Call it the village idiot thought of the day.."My Uncle Ned told me that he had grown tired of reading stories about how I always got rejected by all the women in Las Vegas..So I wrote this one to show him that I wasn't the only guy striking out in Vegas."
Sounds like your mom may have been right when she said you don't have much luck with Women maybe you should try Men!!! I see a Bright Future in that for you and who knows you may like it, the money definitely wouldn't hurt!!!
