Messing with those girly card guys...

My sister came back from Las Vegas and I had to laugh. She and her husband were walking down the strip and those guys with the little cards were everywhere. You know, the ones with the scantily clad "escort" girls on them. They didn't care if you were walking with your wife, your kids, whatever. They just brazenly handed the cards out to the guys. So she was messing with them. "How about one for me." Response from guy: "Try a threesome." "How about you?" Response: dead silence. "Why would he want one of them when he has me?" Response: eye roll. So have you ever messed with somebody like that? Any good stories?

And ironically most of the guys passing out the cards appear to be hispanic, ie predominantly Catholic...

Its not just guys that have these things pushed on them it women too. The whole world is full of*ores that are jealous of people that aren't *ores, and want to make you a*ore too. I said it. hores. Everything this day is in our faces. People's sexuality, people's fears, people's habits. Everyone wants to find acceptance for their wrongs, and agreement in their stupidity. I won't give it to them, and the rest of the world will hate me for it. That's life.

No kidding. I go shopping with my girls, ages 8 and 12. Now the 12 year old is tall for her age and there is a LOT of this stuff in that section, but the 8 year old? Yep, too much cutie sexy stuff there too, starting about with size 6. Disgusting!

I had a boss who could be quite brash and not what you would call attractive. She was always well groomed but really dowdy. It was a big surprise to all of us in her department when she invited us to her place for the day one Sunday. We were having a delightful time when her husband turned up from wherever he had been. Well, you could have knocked us all down with a feather. He was tall, handsome, amusing and charming to all of us girls but you could see he had a special place for his lady wife. We were getting along and having a fabulous time with our boss telling us stories of their travels here and there in days gone by. She told us the story of how they were taking some English rellos sight seeing in Kings Cross...our notorious and iconic red light district. She told how the wives had gotten separated from the men and one of the ladies of the night approached her hubby and offered her services at a special rate. He refused a few times saying he only had $20 dollars on him and she eventually gave up. Some time later the couples had caught up with each other and they walked past this lady once again and she recognised my boss's husband. She gave my boss a filthy look then said to him..."See what you get for 2o bucks?" Of course, we were all shocked momentarily then falling about the floor laughing. That lady was one of the best bosses I've ever had.

Yeah, I've heard it too but when she told it, it was the first time any of us had heard it and we were shocked that she would tell a joke like that, pretending it really happened to them...lol..

Can't you just imagine that those card hander outers have heard it all by now. I'll bet they do a lot of eye rolling during a days work. I think I would have to mess with them too.

Really? Maybe it says something about the kind of people I have in my life, but most women I know would probably say SOMEthing to them. Most would make some stupid joke.

Well, It seems I have got in the habit of coming to Mylot for a daily chuckle and so far I have been able to find a laugh somewhere in these pages... today your post is that laugh... I have a quick witted sense of humour and I have been known to dump somebody own words or actions back at them occassionally... Unfortunately, my brain is not yet firing on all cylinders because I haven't had enough coffee yet... I will definately pop back in if I have anything earth shattering to reveal. Just don't hold your breath it may not happen for a long while!

Thanks for telling me not to hold my breath as I have a tendency to turn blue!

ha ha my brother actually collects those cards.....kinda like baseball cards, he's got hundreds of them. yeah they tried to get rid of those guys a couple of times, but they just managed to make them stand beyond a certain line on the sidewalk........you know, the part that EVERYBODY walks by on. if you ever get bugged by the guys trying to give you "great deals" or "free offers" or timeshares or whatever, just tell them you live here and they leave you alone like you have the plaque. that doesn't work with the card guys though........no speekee englise!!!

yeah that's what i do too, actually we don't usually go down to the strip unless somebody comes into town or we're going to a concert or something. our little neighborhood bar suits us just fine.

Well said. She sure is quick. I would not be that quick with anything like this. It would be just dirty looks that they would receive from me. My hubby is quick though. We where in Tenerife and a fellow in the street give him a scratch card. Of course they where time share scouts. Well he told my hubby that his scratch card had won $1000 if he visits an appartment for sale. Well my hubby told him "If it is true then you keep it and take your wife" Yeah I am hopeless at stuff like this. It is just as well I have a quick hubby, like your sister.

She's quicker than I am. I would think all that stuff up after the fact. Or maybe beforehand, hmmmmm...
