There is a little league day at the Orioles game coming up in a few weeks, and the money has to be in for it soon if you want to go, so after my kid’s game last night I figured I’d pay up just so I wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore. It proved to be still yet another example of either how I should just never say a word out loud about anything to anyone or how people just don’t get my humor.
I went up to the coach, who was hanging out with a couple moms and a dad, handed over my cash and said, “Here, let me pay for the tickets now before I spend this money on whiskey or crack or something.”
The coach didn’t really hear me. The other dad chuckled nervously. One of the moms I swear gasped, and the other’s mouth dropped open. WTF. Maybe it’s me, but I think these peoples’ reactions were ridiculous. There were no kids around, and it was a funny line! Especially with my impeccably deadpan delivery.
Oh, well. At least I know who not to offer a bump to now.
i hate it when people have no sense of humour.
i really avoid saying anything to people anymore unless i know they have a clue.
Oh I’ve said a few humdingers that has gotten me permanently banned from PTA meetings. Some people are just so touchy.
You can tell its spring when the Cheese blog suddenly blooms with posts simply because he is forced outside to interact with other people.
Ha. Actually, I have a half marathon this weekend so I’m blogging more to keep my mind off of it. But you do have a point. I hate that it’s lawn mowing season again because some neighbor or another always wants to say hi while I’m outside and talk about either whatever they’re doing to their houses this year or asking what I’m doing to mine. Bleh.
Dang, how old are these people, 60? They all act so old fogeyish.
