    Years back I was waiting at a bus hub after I had just got through one of the most grueling days of my life and I looked the way I felt. A woman asks me for directions and it turns out she is on the same bus, so she starts to chat. She was a university-educated beauty while I was looking my worst, just trying to keep myself fed while I wrapped up some missed high school credits before doing an adult-ed course.

    I don’t think I’ve ever been more suspicious of someone in my life, but after chatting for over half an hour she seemed quite intelligent and genuine, and I decided to ask for her info before we split up.

    Called her to set up a date and she got a little hung up on the word “date”, using anything but that. Thought maybe she was just being a little non-committal at first, not necessarily scary. We meet up and grab a quick coffee, then she asks me to come with her because she has a night planned out. Fuck yeah, right?

    It was a fucking youth group and she damn near tried to drag me in. I walked home, fuck that.

      I had to look this up, so I’ll leave it here for others:

      youth group = religious organisation trying to sign people up

      (In my country if you look this term up on the web you get https://youth.gov.au . They probably wear thongs too)

        Oh it was great, we were discussing the F35, when I made the funniest joke about the aileron control failing when exposed to EM radiation at frequency 214.74 MHZ and that any ballistic missile with a radio transmitter at that frequency attached will cripple the airplane.

        Why do you ask?
