off-tangent

i received a text this evening with the texter informing me that he was meeting up with some old pals and he hopes he'll be the handsomest in the group.

i told the texter it's enough that he is handsome, he need not aspire to be the handsomest.

his reply:  'you said i'm handsome!  you cannot take it back.'

eh!?  my point was about not aspiring to be the handsomest.  his focus was on the fact that i said he was handsome.  ha-ha-ha.  oh, well...

this afternoon, i was angry on the phone, venting out to someone assigned to earlier deployments:  'i was constantly calling him!  every break i got, i was calling him!  and yet he did not follow my instructions?!!!'

the reaction on the other end was, 'you didn't do that to me.'

me:  'do what?'

'call...'

'huh?!  hello, i was calling you, too!  every single one of you i was calling.'

'but not every break...'

ooops, i didn't know whether i should be amused or angrier.  there i was ranting about someone not following instructions and i have this listener comparing number of calls.  ugh!

months back, this guy and i were in a similar circumstance.  that time, he had just broken my trust (grrrr!) so when i received the following text, i forwarded it to him:

1 day, a b0y asked his girl..

Boy: “What if I broke your trust someday?”

Girl just replied,
“Trusting you was my DECISI0N
& proving me right is your CH0ICE.”

his reply:  "... does that mean ur my girl?"

huh?!  aaaaaaaaaaarrrgh!!!
