Random thought about a weird conversation…

Out for my evening walk a few days ago, the following conversation occurred:

Guy on patio: Good evening
Me (wearing my favorite shirt): Good evening
Guy on patio: What’s that on your shirt?
Me: Golden Girls
Guy on patio: Oh, man, that’s great! Especially for this weekend.

I spent the rest of my walk trying to figure out what he meant.

“… especially for this weekend.”

It made no sense. Or did it? What’s going on with the Golden Girls this weekend?

Then it occurred to me. Adding weird things to benign small talk could be an amazing way to pass the time. This might be especially fun if the other person in the conversation might be a little more of the paranoid variety.

For example, next time you find yourself at a diner in rural Alabama, walk up to the first MAGA-hatted customer you see and say:

“Dude, you are wise for suspecting the Deep State… especially for this weekend.”

Then just walk away.
