If sexual energy could be converted to gasoline, we'd all be driving muscle cars right now.
I got propositioned at the park this morning by an old fisherman with no teeth. I was happily chatting to him about fishing when he grabbed my arm and asked me if I wanted to knit! He wasn't threatening, just extremely pitiful. I gave him one of my mom lectures, told him I'd get him thrown out of the park if he didn't behave.
When I got home I did report him to the park. I mean, Jojo and a host of other innocents walk down there, too. They're going to send maintenance out to fix the problem.
What makes me most aggravated is that I had been walking and writing. I almost had a poem composed in my brain!

If he grabbed your arm he must have been somewhat threatening.
He asked you if you wanted to knit? I wouldn't have even known what the heck he was talking about.
No, I didn't feel threatened. Like I said, he was more pitiful than anything else.
I'm going to bring that phrase back into style. I'm sure it'll work in all the clubs! ;)
Really though, that's both hilarious and sad. Only you, Charmi.
Gene said with all my gray hair he probably mistook me for a fellow senior citizen.
You're too brave for your own good.
If a guy asked me if I wanted to "knit" I'd think he was gay. But if he was old and had no teeth I'd think he was just senile.
Straight men knit, too! Goodness.
But this fellow was probably senile.
Well, I don't know any guy that knits. I don't even know very many women that knit.
And yes, Dane, I prefer manly men who don't knit.
Do we always have to perpetuate these myths about what is manly or womanly?
Example, Gene doesn't knit, but he can mend clothing and does it much better than I do! I hate mending. So are we thrown out the womanly woman and manly man club?
Your quiche is ready!
Precisely.
A. Talia is right. Straight men don't knit.
B. I would have hit the old guy in the head with a rock. You just don't grab a woman you don't know.
C. You should probably hit Gene over the head with a rock as well for his senior citizen comment.
A. You're full of it.
B. I'm (mostly) a pacificist. I have better luck just talking people to death, cruel but effective.
C. I use B on Gene. Also, there is less blood to clean up. I hate housecleaning.
