Overheard At The Diner

"You're a scientist?"
"No, I'm a cyclist."
"You can see the future?"

Reminds me of some comedian talking about his girlfriend. She said, "I'm an actress so I can't have carbohydrotes." "No, honey, I think you mispronounced that. It's pronounced 'waitress.'"

The future is less cars more bikes. Most of us can see that.

I didn't actually see who said it because the conversation was behind me, but he didn't sound particularly hot.

Actually, I heard three different voices--the one asking the scientist question was female, and I interpreted that as just mishearing the word.

The first male answered with "I'm a cyclist" very loudly and clearly, and then another guy asked about seeing the future.

Sorry if this doesn't fit your fantasies, but I really haven't noticed much correlation between hotness, chickness and poor vocabulary in real life.

There is definitely no correlation.

Just the best possible scenario for the “I’m a cyclist” guy. Was hoping for his sake...
