Gloriana

Sans social companions for the day, I trampled down to BMV to score a few books. Strange people congregate in bookstores -- myself included, naturally, but my strangeness is kept inside, whereas others seem to put it on the outside. I've been delayed by a blind Lord of the Rings fanatic and a man who told me a story about a Russian clown named Popov who threw bottles at fighter planes ... You can't make these kinds of people up.

This lovely Sunday afternoon, a couple was there. Their conversation, I realized, more or less crystallized the differences between the male and female mindsets.

Her: "I think we should get this edition."

Him: "I think we should get this edition."

Both: "Why?"

Her: "Because it's nicer."

Him: "Because it's bigger."

Then she had to throw a wrench into the entire operation.

Her: "Touch my tush."

What? I thought frantically.

And he did. I quietly inched away.

People are bizarre.

Well, on the bright side it was 'tush' and not something else even more horrific.
