And since being happy with ourselves (is that too much of a leap?) is an important part of all this big picture love stuff, this is overall a good thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1153146074613237732006-07-17T10:21:00.000-04:002006-07-17T10:21:00.000-04:00And what are these "man dibs"?And what are these "man dibs"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1153112214492102692006-07-17T00:56:00.000-04:002006-07-17T00:56:00.000-04:00Yes, well, I suppose my ideal woman would have sai...Yes, well, I suppose my ideal woman would have said something like "You know what I'd do if I was rich, I'd get one of those credit cards that <EM>gives you cash back with every purchase</EM>," but that's too much to hope for in the express lane at this supermarket.jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755662766163119607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1153111939797338802006-07-17T00:52:00.000-04:002006-07-17T00:52:00.000-04:00The post seems to be more about the woman, about h...The post seems to be more about the woman, about her supposedly witty comeback, and how much you liked that. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like it was actually a pretty dull response. It was the really obvious response. The interesting response would've taken it to another level, or would've smiled at the guy and acknowledged that lots of frequent flyer miles would be great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1153097355898833652006-07-16T20:49:00.000-04:002006-07-16T20:49:00.000-04:00Okay, okay, so it wasn't my most well-done post. ...Okay, okay, so it wasn't my most well-done post. Which is unfortunate, because it was a genuinely amusing/poignant conversation (at least for me) to watch. I wish I was better at writing description, because the guy was just ugly-quirky and then his whole thing was about how if he had a bunch of money he would get a credit card with frequent flier miles. I didn't really mean for it to be much about the woman at all.jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755662766163119607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1153096916403611142006-07-16T20:41:00.000-04:002006-07-16T20:41:00.000-04:00I don't understand what made his punchline funny e...I don't understand what made his punchline funny either, inadvertent or not.
