Posting Everyday in January Post

Things I heard today:


1. Best and worst compliment yelled to me on the street today:

Best (This requires a short explanation.  I have a lot of very curly hair, and I began going gray in my twenties.  And I know this sounds odd, but for some reason, people on the street are always saying things to me about my hair.  Like, at least once a day.  Often, the comments are from people who are overtly mentally ill, but not always.) So, back to the best compliment --"Hey, baby!  I dig that salt-and-puppy hair!"  Salt-and puppy.  I could not have been happier.

Worst -- "You must have been something, back in the day!"  Why not just yell, "You are old" at me instead?

2.  Most interesting question and answer heard at work today (I'm a lawyer, and I was watching a colleague who was trying a murder case)

      Question (by the prosecutor): "Did you consider the defendant to be a friend?"
      Answer (by the witness): "If by friend you mean, did we fuck hos together, then no."

3.  Best comment by a passenger in my car on a subway stuck at Columbus Circle (loudly, and in a thick West Indian accent):  "Columbus Circle is bullshit, mon!"

So, that was my day!  How was yours?

"Salt and puppy"? Awesome. As is the exchange between the prosecutor and the witness. But that comment about you being something "back in the day"? Uncalled for! And moronic! My PE coach in grade school was completely grey... and she was 22 years old.

Lol. A new definition of friendship for me, that's for sure. I've not been out today as yet so have no comments to share.

Giggling at the 'salt and puppy' and the witness comment and the subway comment - all human life is there!

Ignore the idiot with the 'back in the day' - doesn't know a good thing when you are under his nose, stupid man.

I had the most ridiculous allergic reaction to something today (god knows what) and my left eye got all swollen. So I spent the day in an anti-histimine daze trying to remember what the hell I was supposed to be doing and looking like I'd gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson - minus the ear biting. (Although I was so dopey I might not have noticed the ear biting...
