I can't tell if I was being flirted with or insulted here.
This is from when I used to keep a blog, and is from November 2005:

I just came back from the mall.

I was going to see a movie, but the incredibly long line for Harry Potter deterred me.

It should have come as no surprise as the mall was packed, presumably for those who think Christmas shopping is something you do ahead of time.

I did, however, manage to buy a book: HOW TO SURVIVE A ROBOT UPRISING - Tips On Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion.

When I went up to the cash desk to pay for it, I said "It's always good to be prepared."

The woman smiled in the vague "I'm responding, but not paying attention" form that's so popular amongst store clerks, and then read the title on the book. She cracked up and thought it was the funniest thing she'd ever seen, so she said.

As she was ringing it up, she said "So when the revolution comes, you may be the only one of us who survives. But you should really teach your skills to one woman."

"If that's an invitation, write your number on the receipt." I replied.

"No... no," she laughed, "that's okay." I shrugged.

Then as I was going, she said "Mind you, if you're going to die otherwise, why not put out?"

I love people who talk like that. Even though she didn't give me her number and thus would rather die by robot oppression than jump on 'lil bouncy. :(

That's the kind of comeback line I never think of until it's too late :(
