Was that a question?

I should start a new series on this blog...I think I'd call it "Old Guy of the Week."  As I've posted numerous times before, I seem to be a magnet for old farts.  They usually write to me on the weekends, so I always have fresh material for the beginning of the work week.

This one was received on Saturday.  Unfortunately, his freebie period has expired, so I can't post his picture.  I'm calling him the Fresh Prince, since his screen name reminds me of him.  Fresh Prince is 44, and looks like a generic older guy, brownish, thinning hair, and a goatee.  Here's what he had to say (referring to my profile):

Subject: hey tall and lovely,

So you're a clutz?  At 5'10"..... you can afford to be :)

Do you like to dance? cause I would really love to dance with you?

FreshPrince,

Ignoring the retarded punctuation, since we've picked it apart 100 times on here, I have to wonder...would he really love to dance with me?  Or is he just trying to talk himself into it?

Maybe, aside from "accidentally" rubbing up on young women on the bus, this is the only way he can legitimately get close to some young thing :)

True enough. I wish I had been able to post his picture. He looked kind of pervy.

And can I add one more thing? I don't get the whole at 5'10" you can afford to be a klutz... I just don't.

Oh Mel, don't you know that because I am "tall and lovely" I can be excused for any number of sins? The world is just a much kinder place for us. As the old TV commercial said, "don't hate me because I'm beautiful!" (Gag. Don't believe me. Please! If you don't know me, this response is dripping with sarcasm.)
