I could have shot the shit with you! I worked for an upscal country club and had many conversations with all kinds of business people! But most of all I just enjoyed the fun of watching these people let loose.
Someone asked you about your ribs from out of nowhere! LOL Did she scared the crap out of you till you saw who it was, that would have made me feel a little strange. But that might just be me!
