Quote of the Year

About once every 27 years a woman will hit on me, and for such moments I have come up with several witty comebacks for different scenarios. One of the most common things I hear is, "Do I know you from somewhere?" or "Haven't I met you before?" For such questions I would have answered "You must watch a lot of TV," or "Perhaps you meet a lot of good looking guys."

So, the other day when I was at the 101X Christmas Concert, I was prepared when this blond woman by the 101X tent asked me, "Haven't I met you before?"

This is how the conversation went:
Me: I don't know, do you work at 101X.
Girl: No, but I'm Deb's friend. (Deb being an on-air personality.)
Me: Maybe you work at some place I've been before. What do you do?
Girl: I shred.
Me: (somewhat perplexed, thinking this woman shreds paper for a living) What do you shred?
Girl: I'm a profressional wake-boarding.
Me: Oh, that's cool.

Now, this is the point where I should have used the witty line, "I don't know how you would know me, perhaps you just meet a lot of good-looking guys."

Instead what I said came out like this: "I don't know how you would know me. Sure are a lot of good-looking guys here tonight."

Girl: Yeah.

Me: (realizing what I actually said) I gotta go.
