Today I put a status update on Facebook and afterwards, my experience got funnier and I just had to come back and tell all my Facebook peeps, iffin’ they really care.  And if not, oh well…it was just too funny for me to pass up.

So, the Facebook status:

The story:

Sugah Daddy asked me if I wanted to grab lunch so we took a break and headed up to Starbucks. On the way in there was a lady with a lovely British accent on the phone outside the door. And there it was. You’ve heard the expression before and no doubt you’ve witnessed it. But this time, think about the true size of a camel and the whole d@mn hoof.

It doesn’t end there. We went outside to have our midday snack and one of the ladies at a nearby table stood up and started doing something like a little walk, acting out a story I thought, for her two friends.  It was her, and I couldn’t let it pass without making Sugah Daddy be my witness that it was indeed the BEST case ever.

Of course he had his back to the ladies and he ever so subtly dropped something so he could bend over and catch a look. Rico Suave, that one. But as he bent down to pick up whatever it was, he knocked over his venti calm soy latte and the whole thing spilled everywhere. He just laughed and said it was bad karma for making fun of people. However, the act of picking up his Starbucks cup to throw in the trash gave him a full on view of the spectacle. So, that worked out for him.

It still doesn’t end there. After he came back he tried to explain to me that it was the garments fault, not the ladies…of COURSE it’s the garments fault but that doesn’t mean you have to walk out of the house in it. (this is how we spend our coffee breaks, I guess).  A little time went on and I heard the standing lady talking and she clearly had a New York accent, not the original British I heard out front.  I was a bit confused.  Were there two of them? How could there be? But it was the same exact furniture arrangement, if you know what I mean. A very distinct look.

Then the kicker…

The lady sitting with her back to us said “Are those some of our pants?”

It took me a minute to put it together and I’m still not sure I have all of the pieces but, the lady sitting down was the original lady. The one up acting the story must be some type of business partner or rep of clothing that they’re both involved in? There were two of them! Then I wondered if there was some new trend that I didn’t know about. Ew.

The thing that gets me is that neither one of them said anything to the other one about the ‘look’. I wonder if they went home and checked themselves. And the poor third lady…one can only imagine what was going through her mind.

I wonder if this would qualify for a theme for the ISGB Indelible show because it sure is going to leave an impression on me.
