We are all human, we all get these unexplainable moments of complete madness where we let out a mother of all brainfarts and do, say or ask something completely stupid! it is famously called a "blonde moment"... Some people have alot more "headgas" than others and get these "power outages" much more often!(Sorry, can't blame Eskom for this one!)
I am certainly not immune to this... I have had some pretty serious "short circuits"... But none that I want to talk about right now! Fuck I've had meaningful conversations with BEER BOTTLES for fuck sakes! But that's as far as I will go! Use your Imaginations! ;-) So let me just talk about the classic case of "Bad Wiring" that I witnessed today right in fucking front of me! That's right, today I was an eye-witness to an explosion of stupidity!
The victim of the Common Sense Deficiency virus was a young lady who sauntered into my place of work and started walking around aimlessly, looking around at just about everything that was for sale and even everything that wasn't! She finally settled in front of a certain item, picked it up and started looking at it from all humanly possible angles, turning and flipping it around... The poor Item must have really felt VIOLATED! Then she gestured for one of my colleagues to approach her by waving said item in the air as if it was on auction! Then the ticking of the time bomb began... LOUD AND CLEAR... It went something like this:
Colleague(C): Yes ma'am?
"Einstein" with boobs(E): Are these the green apples? (They were yellow!)
(C): No ma'am, these are the yellow ones, called Goldens.
(E): Are they sweet? (She looked like she was in her mid thirties... Where has she BEEN the last THIRTY YEARS to not know if APPLES ARE SWEET!?!)
(C): I like them, don't know if you will.
(E): How much are they?
(C): Very cheap... Ten!
(E): Ten what? (BOOM!)
Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm quite sure we use RANDS here isn't it!? There are no other secret currencies being used are there!? So that is a very daft question! Yes I know he didn't specify, but come on is it really necessary!? It's quite obvious in this year of 2009, where a loaf of bread (which is suppose to be a "Bargain Buy") will set you back about 8 bucks, that a packet of apples will NOT be 10 cents! So the only obvious conclusion is that it is TEN RANDS! Isn't it!? But in any case we specified, she bought and left... Service with a Smile! Right!? (Popping vein like "Stressed Eric"!)
Maybe "The Prawns" brought a currency of their own when they landed in "District 9" and it is now secretly in circulation! Hmm... Saw the trailer of that movie and it looks fucking AWESOME! Can't wait to indulge my insatiable appetite for cinema and watch it!
For some very odd and unexplainable reason, I find myself listening to Lilly Allen-Smile at this very moment as I am writing this!?! Catchy is all I can say right now! ;-)
Stay Tuned. Ciao.
