I met one of those crazy people the other day,
you know,
the type who has to get all his words out in a single breath
without pausing for air, like an auctioneer on speed,
while you just stand there, nodding and grinning
because you really haven’t got a clue
what he’s going on about.

  14. Classic. They are so easy to tune out. I wonder if they realize why people frequently say "What?" to them.

  17. You know, I could actually read that without any trouble at all. Isn't that funny? Unfortunately, I work with a few people like that. I can feel my eyes glaze over and my eyes are drawn to a distant point as they go on an on about something I could care less about. Good subject for a 55!
