FYI, be careful of complimenting a woman’s paint job on her toes.
I was going to my office and this pretty young lady was walking up the stairs when I happen to notice her painted toe nails….
Me: “Nice color on the toe nail polish.”
She: “You like it?”
Me: “Yeah, makes your toes look all dainty and delicate.”
She: “Why thank you. I didn’t know if that color of gray would work. No one’s every completed my toes before.”
Then out of my mouth come words that I know better than saying, but my mouth has it won, independent center of my brain and doesn’t think before it opens…..
Me: “People should. You have beautiful feet.”
See what I mean, talk before thinking….
She: “Well thank you again. What’s your name?”
So Mr. Talk-before-I-think blurts out “Michael”.
Since we are on the floor my office is, I turn to toward my office. I get three steps to my office and I get this tap on the shoulder. I turn around and get this kiss on the cheek and a piece of paper shoved into my pocket with the words “call me” whispered in my ear.
And the one time I could use that-thing-that-utters-word-from-my-face, it is silent, maybe because all of the blood in my body is rushing to my head so as to commence blushing maneuvers. Yes, I blush easily. And as she walks away….
She: “You’re cute when you blush.”
Of course this happens right outside a co-worker’s door in full view of this co-worker.
Co-worker: “She’s right. You are cute when you blush. And you got the cutest dimples too. Hey, the top of your head is blushing too.”
Needless to say I have closed myself up in my office since then. And if you guess the piece of paper had the painted-toe girl’s name and number then you just won the prize of the day.
I guess my wedding ring must have some clocking device installed in it.
Now if I ever get that time machine built I have to remember to tell my pre-married self to compliment women’s toes when I give him the lottery numbers for the past ten years.
