Another person I can't be friends with

Yesterday I was at a school thing for Gracie standing next to a guy who also had a kid at the school. I'm 5'10" (Ok Candy! Actually, I'm 5'9"+3/4", I round) and felt dwarfed by the guy; he had to be at least 6'9". I literally had to move away to talk to him.

Him: Which one is yours?

Me (pointing to Gracie): Her (the breathtakingly beautiful one). Which one's yours?

Him (pointing to a crowd of kids): That one, the one with the short brown hair.

Me: Oh, the one with his back to us? The tall one?

Him: Yep.

Me: Hum. Wonder where he gets it.

Him (pointing to himself, informatively): Me. I'm tall.

Me: OH. RIGHT.

Let it be noted, I wish to surround myself only with people who get me.

Awesome story. I'm laughing so hard at Mr. Obvious.

I COMPLETELY agree! I think sarcasm is the Queen Mother of being humorous. Don't you agree?

And what is it with people who don't get sarcasm!?

Please tell me that he was joking?! Because NO ONE can be that clueless.

Sounds like you were standing next to Captain Clueless. :)

Cara, he was NOT joking. I think he should cease reproducing.

I'm so mean.

you mean he didn't have his "sign"?
remember the "here's your sign" from a while back? then you would have known better.

We call that a "Reagan" around here - after a guy Josh knew in high school that was great at stating the obvious.
