Ok, so I was at the YMCA working out, when I overheard these two older gentlemen talking. It was nothing out of the ordinary, you know, things you hear when you aren't even really listening. The conversation went something like this:
JIM:" Well Randy, I'm gonna get out of here, gotta go get my teeth cleaned; you know I have my class reunion coming up the end of this month"(this made me smile...love genuine honesty)
RANDY: OK Jimmy, take it easy.Carolyn and I are going to Simon Kenton Farms for supper tonight I'll see you around.
JIM: You know, if you ask me, they ought to do away with all that fancy table dressing and serve their food just normally. I'm telling you, they'd see so many more people.It's just SO darn pricey"
I'll just end the story here. Isn't it funny how we as people say, " You know, if you ask me...?'............. It's not the so much the details of this story that entertain me. Here, I'll type it once more, '''''"IF YOU ASK ME..."'''' I appreciate how we as humans develop conversations of flow and dialgoue with harmless links of words such as this. I got a kick out of this convo because while sitting on the leg press I was thinking: well...,sir, nobody asked you. I must add that coming from a different host this comment could possibly be interpreted with concieted intent. However the gray sweatpants wearing subject before me today, sporting yellowing aged Asics appeared humble and meek.
