Anyway, I don't expect her to remember that, or even who I am. But I follow her on X (formerly known as Twitter, glink), where, after I got home from the State Fair, I saw a tweet from her (which she made presumably before the State Fair) about going to the Fair and hating it. And I thought, "Hey! This is a great time to tweet that I saw her in passing while I was having a drink with my friend!" And I did that. And ... nothing. I don't expect her to get back to me on this, and I shouldn't assume the worst because I didn't get a like or a follow. But ... is she creeped out that I told her I saw her at the Fair?
Oh, and another thing. I think also that evening I went on Facebook and looked through a Mensa group I'm in. A guy who I met over the Super Bowl when it was here posts a lot on there, more so than any other member. It's usually about weird stuff. This post is about this, uh, meme or whatchamacalit whereby (and I have no idea if this is true) Schiphol airport in Amsterdam apparently had this huge problem with cleaning costs because were missing while urinating at urinals, so the airport installed pictures of flies in the bottom of the urinals so men would aim their piss at it.
So, one of the commenters in the group said, "I aim at drain fly larvae at work." And to me, it sounded like he was using this meme as a way to complain about his co-workers. We are Mensans -- we not only are smart, but we have kind of a randy sense of humor. Then again, we also have a problem with reading the room. But I was kind of feeling myself and thought I would type out a really great joke I made when I saw his comment. So I replied to him -- and to be clear, I don't know the guy, we're just part of the same "exclusive" group -- something to the effect of, "What did your co-workers do to you to make you pee on them?" And the guy goes, "What?" And I immediately started backpedaling -- "Oh, sorry! I meant that as a really bad joke! You know what? I'm just gonna erase it!" And I erased my comment.
Haven't been cancelled yet. But this trying to be a social person doesn't seem to be working out.
