Awkward


Have you ever waved at someone across the room and then someone in between you and that person who was the recipient of the wave intercepts the wave as a gesture of greeting toward him or her instead of your friend? It's awkward. You have to say to that person "no, I was.... uh, no you, uh...". It's not really that you're embarrassed, you're embarrassed for them. Well, that happened to me tonight. I was in my backyard, waving across two yards at a neighbor of mine. He waved back, but the two dogs who were in the backyard next to me came over to the fence, tongues out, tails wagging, all that. I was like "No, I was... um.. not you.. I was waving at ... uh, how's it going, I'm Dan." It was just a really weird way to meet the neighbor dogs for the first time. That's all I'm tryin' to say.

Dan, have you ever flipped someone off but it accidentally was received by a 250lb Hungarian Bodybuilder named Bjork? And then..spent the next 30 hours trapped in a VW microbus being gagged and bound while velcro was repetitively applied and ripped from your "sac"? Neither have I.
