I've been telling people about how this absolutely
gorgeous supermodel-type at the Coffee Bean stopped
me to tell me how incredibly sexy she found me to be.
I guess I embellish the story a little, because maybe
the word she used was "attractive." Okay, fine.
What she *actually* said was, "You're in my way."
But you can see my point.
