i have to agree with you guys on this one.
the other night i took a date (you can probably guess who) to AnneMarie's Cafe over by the Yeast River on Affront St.
after we had downed a few, i said to her in my most sincere and straightforward tone, "you know, you're a complete wacko-nut-job." incredibly, she took offense to this!
so, i said to her, "look, you know you're a wacko-nut-job; i know you're a wacko-nut-job; you know that i know you're a wacko-nut-job, etc; what's the problem here?
then she started yelling at me that she was a lot more than someone rocking back and forth in a padded cell -- that she paints, sculpts, plays the recorder, studies tantra, and so on.
i replied that i was only trying to bring a level of honesty to our relationship. we both knew that i wouldn't be going out with her if she weren't a wacko-nut-job.
she shouted that this was sexist and offensive of me to say. i told her that i was only trying to empower her instead of watching her travel down the romantic road of ruin.
she screamed, "empower that!" as she gave a quick kick to my family jewels from under the table. having momentarily lost my breath, i croaked in a faint whisper, "i refuse to condescend to or patronize you -- you're too tough for that."
at that point, she poured the entire carafe of green tea over my head and stormed out of the cafe.
"rediculous!", i thought to myself. btw, we have these symantec misunderstandings at least once a month.
signed,
still wondering
