(whistling) "Hey... hey!"

The other day, I was out metering the car. I was getting some coins from my wallet when I heard someone trying to get my attention. It was the guy in the the white pickup truck next to the Muni meter. I glanced over as the window rolled down a bit.

"You have a pretty face," he said with an accent, smiling.

I was startled. I felt like I was back in Paris again, where the guys are very free about their, uh, feelings for women. I smiled and managed, "I, uhh... thanks?" The window rolled down more and nope, I was no longer looking at this man's face.

His shirt was pulled up, revealing a rather hairy belly.

I oogled at a man's belly.

I couldn't help it. It was right there. I felt like I was in a Jim Gaffigan joke. You know, the one where he talks about food and the stomach implant (have a listen).

Anyway, he kept talking to me as I managed to tear my eyes away from The Belly. I fished the coins out of my wallet and finally got my receipt.

"Shimmy."

"What's that?" I said.

"My name is Shimmy."

"Jimmy?"

"No, no. Shimmy. Shimmy.

"Ohh, Shimmy."

"Yes. What is your name?"

I was going to make up a name, but what are the chances I'll see this dude again? Very slim. "Amy," I replied.

"Amy. My name is Shimmy. When can I see you?"

My mind: "HAHAHA!!" What actually happened: "I'm sorry, I have to go!"

"Wait, I want to see you again...!"

I placed the receipt in the car and headed back. Oh, Shimmy.

I am always flattered in those situations, despite my awkwardness and desire to flee.

Maybe I should visit France.
