I am sorry this topic has absolutely nothing to do with swimming, but that is the weirdest thing that ever happened to me and who else would I share it with but my beloved swimming community :-)))
Anyways, here is what happened to me today.I went to Mall of America to do some shopping.I mean I finally set aside money to invest into something non-related to swimming.I am definitely not a shopaholic, but today I felt the urge to get into some new clothes.Well, afew hours after browsing that huge concentration of temptations I gathered quite e few purchases.To top it off I decided to get myself some cool jeans, so I ended up in one of the clothing shops.I had some trouble finding my size and I caught an eye of A GORGEOUS young lady that was working there and asked her to help me out(well, because she was so good-looking, I obviously had even more trouble finding stuff :-))).She turned out to be a sweet-heart and pretty much guided me through all my shopping experience at this little shop and I finally had 2 pair of jeans that I liked after trying out thousands of them(well, not exactly that many, but you know what I mean).So it was time for me to go, but I kinda felt reluctant to leave without having a little chat with that cutie.So I asked her name and stuff and we had a pleasant little conversation.Man, she told me to stop by some time to say hello :-)))Maybe she liked me?'Cause I surely liked her, lol:))
Anyways we finished talking, smiled to each other, wished each other good night and all those things and I headed out home thinking about nothing but that girl I just met.
Ok, guess what happened when I got home?I realised that the girl totally stole my brains at the moment when we were talking, BECAUSE I LEFT THE STRORE WITH THE JEANS IN MY HANDS FORGETTING(I MEAN FORGETTING!!!!) TO PAY FOR THEM!!!
OH my GOD!!!I never shoplift or anything of a kind and never ever anything like that happened to me!
Should I go back there tomorrow and pay or is that going to look weird?The most amazing part is that the jeans had those magnetic devices but they obviously never got activated or whatnot...
WOW, I mean WOOOOOOOOOOW.I must have really liked the girl, 'cause my brain was obviously paralized for that moment...I promised her I would stop by again :-)))She told me when she works.I was trying to be a decent guy and not jump into the whole "Can I have your number" thing right away, lol.
Man, all I have to say is : women are trouble , or from the woman's view on the situation it could be: men are so stupid!!!

Jim: not sure this is true. All Honda Civics are created equal, but once they hit the road (or in the case of my Civic, a concrete bunker), they are in no way equal, right?
As an identical twin (granted, not an identical clone in the absolute strictest sense imaginable, but nonetheless on the far end of the spectrum that leads that way), I can second the notion that what starts out very similar at the moment of creation can diverge over time into two separate, still similar, but different entities: in my brother's case, an ubermensch; in mine, something of a toothless codger. posted by Jim Thorton
Hey Jim....Long time since I've said hello....I have enjoyed reading some of your recent posts around here though. Tell your twin bro I said hello too. I hope all is well with him these days....he's a very interesting guy!
The problem with your analysis Jim is that All Honda Civics are most definitely NOT created equal in the strictest mathematical sense. To use the law of transitivity for equality the way Muppet used it (and I backed it up) you need to operate ONLY within the mathematical universe....there are NO two actual physical objects in this universe that can be said to be equal in this sense....No two objects can have exactly the same identical mass ...or length for example....although two seperate elementary particles can have very close to identical masses (like say two different top quarks or something)....certianly two objects the size of cars may seem identical, but in actuality they differ from one another in any possible way that can be physically measured ....So this transitivity law of equality does not apply to things in the physical world.....the joke Muppet was making was to use an assumption about women equaling trouble as if women and trouble were purely mathematical objects.
