Stand-up comedian
So often in life I feel like a stand-up comedian — for v-e-r-y s-l-o-w people. Hindsight is 20-20 and more often than not I think of a witty response when it’s too late.
Just today I was walking home from the grocery store, carrying a very heavy grocery back, feeling like my arm would fall of if I’m not quick enough. I walked by a stand offering Omega3 pills and there was a very persistent guy trying to get people to stop. He tried to get me to stop and said “please, stop for a while.” I kept walking and he kept trying. Lastly he said “there’s some omega3 for you. It’s healthy!” I walked on by.
Just an instant later I thought of what I should’ve said in response: “So is brisk walking!”
Sigh.
Since I don’t do too much of the brisk walking, maybe he’ll tell me exactly what omega 3 will do for me, and if it makes me lose 20 pounds…. I’m there.
