wildernessguru and another guy were sent to do fire watch for a couple of the welders today. One of the welders said, "Actually, we only need one of you."
The other guy, spotting an afternoon off, said, "I'm outta here."
wildernessguru, spotting an afternoon's pay, said, "I'll take it!" The other welder walked up and said, "Oh, good. We get the pretty one."

Date: 2007-10-31 05:57 am (UTC)He asked me, "Why did they say that?"
"Because you are attractive and the other guy" -- whom I've met -- "is not."
"Do they mean that in a --" *gulps* "-- girlish way?"
I sighed. "Honey. You have a strong jaw and high cheekbones."
"And steady blue eyes," he reminded me.
"And steady blue eyes," I said agreed. "You look like the guy who could play 'Cop #4' in a movie. You know -- the one who doesn't get a line, but kicks down the door and points the gun?"
Then it turned out that earlier that day he'd shown up wearing a tight-fitting black cap and the face shield, and the guys thought he looked bad ass, calling each other over, "Check out [WG]. He looks like he's gonna storm the building!"
They had him pose and he jokingly cocked an imaginary shotgun for them.
"See? That's what they meant," I said.
Then it made his day.
