Where does YOUR mind go?

A coworker of mine got married last week. Lauren and I were in attendance, as were a bunch of my coworkers.

To protect anonymity, let's call the woman who got married "Moose."

This past week, Moose told several of us an amusing story regarding her grandfather-in-law. He's a sweet but rather elderly gentleman.

Apparently, as Moose strolled down the aisle in her elegant wedding dress, as her friends and family stood watching, well, that's when Grandpa said something.

As Moose tells it:

Everyone's quiet -- of course -- because I'm walking down the aisle. Then, he says in a loud voice, loud enough that even I heard:

"You can see downtown from here!"


When Moose told this story at work, nearly all of my coworkers mind misinterpreted what Moose was describing her grandfather-in-law as saying. I know I did. And so did other coworkers I retold the story to. And so did Lauren, when I told her.

In fact, I'm willing to bet that some of you still haven't realized what Grandpa actually meant.

He was commenting on the impressive view of Los Angeles.

You sickos.

Oddly enough, the view of the city WAS the first thing that came to mind (though why he's looking out the window instead of at the bride strolling down the aisle is another question :-P).

I know-- strange isn't it? That Helly's mind doesn't wander off into the profane-- for once! I wonder what's wrong with me...

Uptown. Downtown. I like the euphemism. "Take the backroute to downtown. Oh yeah..."


It was indeed a beautiful service however. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Moose.

Hrm,
I was there during the telling, and it actually took me a short sec to figure out what YOU guys meant.

It was a funny story nonetheless made funnier by funny minds!
