layover

as soon as he sat down two stools away she knew he had plans on talking to her. she tried to put it out of her mind. instead she focused intently on her beer and the flat screen tv. he asks the bartender to refill his drink and lights a cigarette. he takes a couple of drags and then goes for it.

"are you here on business too?"
"me?" slightly suprised at the opening line she continues "uh, yeah, i guess so."
"with Mattress Firm?" ohmygod he did not just say that...
"uh...no."

he finished his cigarette in silence before returning to the other side of the bar.
she looked at the manager and said "i think he just asked me if i was a prostitute."
with interest jimmy asked her "why, what did he say?" she told him the scenario.
"oh. you know, we actually have an account with Mattress Firm. they are having a meeting here early in the morning."

well, it certainly is an unfortunate way to approach a woman.
