Should I tell her?

Should I tell her?

How do you tell her? What do you say?

How will she react?

What if she screams? What if she slaps you? In full public view!

Why would she slap me? If anything, she'll be happy I said it. In fact, she might even ask "What took you so long?"

I dunno. Women are unpredictable. You never know how they react.

Yeah, that they are. Predictably unpredictable.

Beautiful, but unpredictable.

May be I can just reach out and...

Perish the thought!!! She'll definitely slap you. Plus she's wearing heels. Pointed heels.

But still, may be I should go ahead and say it. Damn the consequences!

Think beta think. Kuch bhi bolne se pehle sau baar socho.

Sau baar sochne ka time nahi hai. She'll be long gone by then. It is now or never.

Ok, it's your call. Don't blame me later.

Dammit, I am gonna say it.

  1. Maybe if you say loudly - "Dude that roach has a lady on its ass"

    Then its likely you'll get slapped.

  3. @ Vivek:
    cud've said tht... but then, roaches are equally unpredictable... wht if it had slapped me?

    @ spidey:
    why indeed? except that after the co-existence is pointed out, it is hardly peaceful :)

  4. In such circumstances, if you resort to scientific names, the 'loafer' quotient gets directly converted into 'geek concern' quotient. Say, in this case,

    "Excuse me ma'am, there's a Periplaneta americana on your shoulder..."

    @Vivek : It uncannily seems like a Chandler Bing quote about palaentologists on human faces :)
