...when you are a socially awkward geek
...when your glasses are 2 inches thick that it is almost impossible for the person you are flirting with to see your eyes
...when you have atrocious pick-up lines
...when you lack knowledge
Here is why...
The Semi-Retired Drama Queen was at a good friend's birthday party last week with the Queen. As they were having a reasonably good time catching up with a few mutual friends, a five-ft-tall geek who has gained liquid courage (courage after a few drinks) interrupted their conversation. His spectacles were so thick, one can hardly see his eyes. The geek then started hitting on the Queen...
Liquid Courage Geek: Hi, you look very familiar... Are you from KL?
The Queen : Err... yes I am, but you don't look familiar to me
Liquid Courage Geek: NO WONDER you look familiar! I knew I must have seen you somewhere! I am Liquid Courage Geek by the way, you are?
The Queen : I am the Queen
Liquid Courage Geek: Oh, The Queen, nice name! Nice meeting you. What do you do by the way?
The Queen : I am in advertising...
Liquid Courage Geek: Oh! Interesting job... advertising! Why? I should have guessed!
Advertising people are always interesting
The Queen : Oh... thank you. So what do you do?
Liquid Courage Geek: Hmm... what do you think I do?
The Queen : I don't know... you tell me.
Liquid Courage Geek: Take a wild guess...
The Queen : I don't know... lawyer? Since you were with that group of lawyers over there?
Liquid Courage Geek: Close! But no! Take another guess
The Queen : Oh, I can't think of anything else except lawyer (trying to be tactful)
Liquid Courage Geek: I am a school teacher!
The Queen : Oh interesting! What do you teach and where?
Liquid Courage Geek: Welding... in Old Klang Road
The Queen : Interesting...
Liquid Courage Geek: I like you! Cheers!
The Queen : Cheers! (hoping that he will leave)
Liquid Courage Geek: You should look me in the eyes when you do that or you will have SEVEN YEARS OF BAD SEX!
WTF?!
Then the Liquid Courage Geek tried to be polite and turned to the Semi-Retired Drama Queen and said...
Liquid Courage Geek : So what do you do?
SRDQ : I am in PR
Liquid Courage Geek : You ARE? Interesting!
SRDQ : Really? How so?
Liquid Courage Geek : Oh I think it is a very important job! You know, advertising is all about planning and strategising while PR is all about the wining and dining! Something you cannot do without!
SRDQ : Oh really? Man! No wonder I suck at my job! I have not been wining and dining people at all!
The Queen : Yeah! So that's where you have been doing wrong all along! You have not been wining and dining your clients enough!
Liquid Courage Geek : Yeah... It is an interesting job though!
DOUBLE WTF?!
