Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.
My all-time best one has a bit of a story behind it. This was, oh, 8 or 10 years ago, long before I met the future Mrs. Badger, when some friends took me out to dinner at China Garden. I returned from a quick side trip to find my friends very amused--seems one of the waitresses was quite taken with me, and the owner of the restaurant had come out and asked my friends if I was single and looking.
I was the former but not particularly the latter (though she was cute), so other than having a mild ego boost I didn't think too much of it. Until, that is, I cracked open my fortune cookie and, without thinking, read it aloud.
It said, "Someone across the room is watching and admiring you."
We all involuntarily turned to look, and there in the kitchen window was a rather cute Asian face smiling at me. We all about fell out of our chairs laughing. I hope it didn't hurt her feelings...
You take an optimistic view of life
