Talking face to face
Jun. 24th, 2004 04:21 pmI evidently have a reputation at the plasma place. I don't say much, but when I say it, it's hilarious.
Today's hilarious moment: the guy was summarizing the screening questions, as it's end-of-shift and I have the questions memorized. I replied, answering in the same spirit -- "No smallpox, haven't been out of the country... haven't slept with any gay guys..."
This was sufficient to have him crack up laughing. End of shift, and he never suspects it...
This is how I am with strangers. I rarely say much, but I make what I say count. Not that my comment was remarkable out of context. But since I'm so quiet, people I know casually face-to-face don't expect me to say these things...
