ROFLOL!! The first thing I though of was an unforgettable date 36 years ago. A co-worker who knew I was recently divorced, suggested I contact a dating service. They gave me a phone number. I called her & we met at a restaurant. She didn't talk much, so I tried to make conversation. But whatever I said seemed to make her "Petulant."
I asked, "So.....what type of work do you do?"
She frowned & said, "I don't understand why you're asking me such a personal question; why do you want to know that?"
I said, "OK......is it OK if we talk about my job?" She didn't say anything.
I said, "Well....what do you like to do for recreation?"
She made another nasty face & said, "Why do you want to know that....are you a CIA or FBI agent?"
I figured I wouldn't say anything else; I'd just finish my sandwich & say goodbye to this psycho.
But after a few minutes, she said, "Well....are you going to just sit there & not say anything?"
I burst out laughing & said, "I'm afraid to say anything & make you angry."
She said, "Well, looks like this will be a boring date."
I said, "Oh, no. It's not boring; I'm finding it hilarious."
That really made her mad. She said, "Maybe I should leave."
I said, "Great idea."
After she left, a couple at a table near us asked me, "Where did you find her?"
