Tissue?
September 01, 2006

So we had a meeting with a guy who wants to hire us for a surprise party for his wife. Nice guy, a little fidgety. A little uh, nose-picky.


For twenty straight minutes during our conversation he dingled around his nose in some fashion or another. First it was a scratch, then a flick, then the thumb found it's way fully immersed inside the right nostril, and spent the better part of that time dilly-dallying around in there.


It was hard to concentrate with all the picking.


I subtley nudged the box of Kleenex on the desk closer to him - but he didn't notice. He just kept... picking.


I didn't make eye contact with him long enough to know if he actually retreived the treasure he so desperately hunted for. But I do know he's willing to spend a lot of money, so I am going to overlook all the dingling.


But I am totally not ever allowing him in the kitchen, nor will I ever shake his hand.

Maybe you could just do the fist hit, ya know like Howie on Deal or No Deal! If he would sit and pick his nose in front of you, what does he do when he is not making business deals with people he does not know???? Probably don't want to go there!

The temptation to offer him a spoon must have been overwhelming...

...but I hope he didn't find you with an internet search...! - j

I've often wondered whether or not the people you write about ever read your blog. I sure hope so!
