Sometimes I say weird things to girls in public to try to get them to laugh. It works about 50% of the time. Not in NYC.
I went to buy some body wash at Lush in Union Square. While I was paying...
Clerk- Do we want a catalog?
Asif- (Pauses) Yes we do!
Clerk- What do you mean?
Asif- You asked if WE wanted a catalog. I was just answering that WE do.
Clerk- (Puzzled look on her face) Ok.
Needless to say, I laughed to myself as I was leaving.
I thought I'd introduce Brandon to the pens and art supplies at Muji. As he was looking through their wares. I walked around a bit. I saw this girl sitting at a small dining table display. I pulled up a seat.
Asif- What's for dinner?
Girl- (Confused) Hee hee.
And then silence.
Brandon was ready to go a couple of minutes later. I got up, slapped the table and said "See you later." She said bye but was probably more like WTF!?
Brandon and I were waiting in line for some dessert. A female photographer slips between us in line and snaps an action scene of a smore being prepared. The camera lens was really close to one of the workers necks.
Asif- Are you taking a picture of his neck?
Girl- No, I was taking a picture of the smore.
She then showed me the picture. So serious!
A girl was smoking near the entrance of the door.
Asif-Hello, Doorman.
Girl- Hi. (Didn't phase her at all)
I'm sure I'll be posting another installment pretty soon.
