This Happened

On my way to work, I encountered a man who was standing in the middle of the yard outside of the Alumni Memorial Union at Marquette University.

Man: That's really nice.

Me: ....

Me: Thank you?

Man: What do you do for a living?

Me: I'm a student.

Man: You're pretty.

Me: Thank you.

Man: The lipstick.

Me: Th...thanks.

Man: Are you a man?

Me: (nervous laughter)

Me: I'm actually not offended by that, but no, I am not a man.

Man: Okay.

Man: Do you have money to take me out to eat?

Me: I think I already mentioned that I'm a college student, therefore, I am broke.

Man: Oh.

Me: I'm about the cross the street.

Man: Oh, ok.

Why Is It That

When someone says "no offense," they usually follow that with an offensive statement?

No offense, but I'd like to give it to your mother very rough.

Until Then...

I have two posts promising an exhaustive post on the topics I posted in those posts.

Anyway, I've concluded some things over the Halloween weekend:

1. Halloween is stupid.
2. Halloween is expensive.
3. Halloween is like any other excuse to party only it is socially acceptable for one to wear racially/religiously/sexually offensive costumes and children are about 500 times more likely to be assaulted.
4. The celebration of Halloween is all for material gain. Explained:

"Everyone else is celebrating Halloween tonight at "Insert Club Name Here." So, that should give you an excuse to pay a 20-dollar cover."

"I'm a woman wearing a costume that is both sexually-suggestive and weirdly infantile. If you buy me a drink, you have a better shot at sleeping with me."

"Trick or treat."

With that said, I can't wait until Thanksgiving.
