The Lady and I went out to dinner the other night. Our booth sat facing the bar. Directly in front of us sat a man and a woman. In short order, they had my attention.

The man was a classic dork looking character. Around the mid-forties, wearing a white long sleeve shirt, dark slacks, loafers, and argyle socks. About the only thing missing was a pocket protector. Though he may have had it hidden as not to scare off his apparent prey. Thin wispy hair was slicked back on his head, and he had a full set of natural horse choppers that were in full gleam.

The woman was about the same age. Stringy dirty blonde hair fell to her shoulders. She was wearing a red dress that must have been in her closet for a long time. And used during that time. It looked as if it graced her frame when she fit it a bit more flatteringly, and she just couldn't seem to part with it.

The Lady and I read a story not too long ago, that delved into an area I wouldn't have thought might be of interest. Now, unless I misread some of the signals I picked up, I think it may be worthy of being introduced into to our little world.

At first, it was "Oh, I don't know about this story. This seems a bit over the top, doing it this way...Seems a little on the extreme side..." kind of discussion.

Then I got to thinking about what was said, and how it was said.

Hmmmm....
