About five years ago the owner of my wife's company asked if I would mind serving as bartender at the company picnic. I did and mixed some killer drinks. The owner passed out in a little red wagon and the employees all took pictures of themselves with him passed out. It has become the most epic picnic in the company' 28 year history. Of course he has blamed me ever since and has forbad be for bartending at picnics ever since. I have never lived it down. The annual catered picnic was again today. And he once again asked if I would bartend. I agreed with the understanding I would be held innocent of all that happens. Well after we finished the lobster and steamed clams everyone was looking for the owner to thank him for the wonderful meal. He was nowhere to be found. Eventually someone discovered where he was... Passed out down by the horseshoe court in the grass. Employee pictures once again were taken. My wife said we should probably leave because when he came to I was going to catch hell. She's now waiting for the inevitable text message proclaiming me as evil incarnate.

People who ask personal questions. And refuse to accept a non answer. Whattup with that?

Last school year, a co-worker asked me a personal question I didn't want to, didn't feel like I should have to answer. I said, " I'd rather not answer, if you don't mind". He asked me why. (I was flabbergasted.) I made direct eye contact with him and tried to stare him down. After a minute or so, he again asked me why I wouldn't answer his question and why I was staring at him. (Have mercy.) I said it was none of his business. Instead of accepting my answer and leaving it alone, he asked if I had done something wrong.

WTF?

If he was a modern young adult, he'd send you a text that said, "BEST. PARTY. EVER." :)

Yeah, it definitly 'Depends'...man I get a lot of mileage out of that particular producto_O

LOL We played a "manly" game. It involved flipping a hammer into the air. How you caught it was how your hands had to remain on the hammer to drive the others nails into a log. The number of mid air hammer flips determined the number of swings you got to take on your turn. I usually caught it on two or three flips. But because I was able to get multiple swings I was targeted to be taken out early by the others each round. Fun game, but not the smartest thing to do by a bunch of guys wearing sandals and flip flops and consuming large quantities of alcohol. Although they felt little pain I suspect a few guys will be hurting at work Monday with a few broken toes. Luckily for me I'm pretty good with a hammer. :)

I understand nosy but dude wanted to know why if I was a widow I wore my wedding band, dressed in mourning, and didn't date. Dude was at least in his mid forties. Should know better than to keep pushing his questions.
Well you know how it is, should know and do know, those are two entirely different things...hey I ain't bein' cute, but is it at all possible he was hittin' on ya, or maybe just feelin' you out for when he might get up the nerve?
Ya know us guy guys can be pretty stupid in a whole lotta ways, especially when it comes to y'all gal guys.
Ya have to admit, that's pretty stupid, stupid, so it fits the criterea:wink:
