"Why go down the street when I can go down the hall right?"

This is an actual event that occurred. While we were engaged for about a year my wife came to my work to drop off some coffee that she had gotten me. So I came from behind the counter took the coffee from her and gave her a quick peck on the lips you know just a quick kiss. And a lady that was coming up to my desk from there looked at that event and said "Oh is that your daughter?". Now we do live in a very rural part of the southeast United States and if you're familiar with the stereotypes involving that, that question was just creepy.

For me? Oh you bet your sweet ass. I still don't look my ago. People peg me as late 20s early 30s. I'm almost 40.

Might make for some fun (and weird) roleplay one night after dinner with several drinks.

That's some serious Joe Dirt vibes.
