The barista screamed “woke” and she was very “West Village” and “Cambridgey” in appearance. Now my colleague will engage with anyone, however his answers, are always eyebrow raising and challenges one to keep a straight face while he responds. One distinct response to a question concerning if he wanted cheese on his cheeseburger, was “No, I’m allergic to cheese and it makes my teeth itchy.” Today when this young lady asked where he did his undergraduate work, he replied “Harvard” which wasn’t even remotely close to true, and for his major; “Fifteenth Century Romanian, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

The Barista, young and cute, I thought was ready to offer to bear his offspring. She was beaming ear to ear, and told him how fascinated she was that he study the history of something so important in today’s world. She looked at him like he invented the wheel. I was so stunned, by her lack of history, common sense and ability to realize she’s being played with. The entire time we had coffee she made talk with my friend that was blatantly like hitting on him and gave him her phone number, despite an obvious twenty year age difference. Walking back to court I just kept shaking my head. Still can’t figure out if it was his response, her reaction or she didn’t know in Romania in the fifteenth century a guy named Vlad the Impaler was kind of in charge of inclusion. Good laugh for the day.


She is young, stupid, and indulging her own prejudices in favor of lefty politics and allowed herself to be fooled.

Did he get her number?

Didn't work for physics majors. Math minor didn't help either.
What did work was student employment as school intramural director.

I highly doubt he would call, he sees shrills a mile away, and she was dumb in some regards, but saw the clothes, the watch and the occupation and that fueled a certain cha-Ching gene.

Harvard? If he'd said Oberlin or Evergreen she would have dragged him into the men's room by his tie before the conversation went any further.

The story in the OP made me smile. Very entertaining.

I like to say outlandish things with a straight face as I build up to it.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
