TALKING TO STRANGERS

I should compile these. Striking up a converstaion with someone you do not know at all can yield the most suprising results.

Last week I had to leave for work uncharacteristically early (6 a.m.)

I stopped at a convenience store to p/u a hot choc. On my way in, I held the door for a man about my age. He thanked me in quite a profusely appreciative manner.

Bob: It's not really that big a deal. You won't remember it by 4 o'clock.
Man: Damn straight! I'll be drunk by 4 o'clock!

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
