i'm here today to let the world know that i witnessed jozjozjoz at the gym tonight, wearing some sort of sign on her head (or maybe it was taped to the back of her shirt) that said, "hi, freaks, please come talk to me, i love it!"
she had her headphones on and was obviously watching ER, and this guy got on the elliptical machine next to her.
freak guy: (shouting over the machines) what's on tv?
jozjozjoz: ER
fg: oh, is that a tv show?
joz: uh huh (quit talking to me, you freak)
fg: so do you think the stock market is going to bounce back?
joz: dunno. i'm not in the stock market (if i mumble, will he stop talking to me?)
fg: (incredulously) you're not in the stock market? How are you going to get rich if you're not in the stock market?
joz: (looks at the hunny pleading for intervention or at least confirmation that she's not making this stuff up)
3 minutes later...
fg: (somewhat laboriously, having been on the machine for 3 minutes) so, how do you think president bush is handling things?
joz: (continues to stare at tv, pretending not to hear fg)
fg: humph. (goes back to huffing and puffing on machine)
i didn't believe it when she told me, but she's an actual freak magnet.

Posted by: Mike at June 13, 2003 12:17 AMI have a work colleague who's excellent with weirdos. When they start on him, he just turns round and says "I'm really not interested." and then ignores them. It's so darned blunt, they don't know how to respond. Of course, it probably helps that he's an ex-Legionnaire, so they probably don't want to argue with him, either...
