What would *you* do?

[Hugin]

I went out to breakfast with my Mom and immediate family
yesterday. We went to a buffet place...

Things were going swimmingly and I decided to go get one
last plate of tasty bacon bacon bacon.

On the way back, I was staring intently at my plate of
luscious stuff and thinking about how when I returned
to the table I'd better blot off at least *some* of
the artery blocking grease coating the bacon.

I sat the plate down on the table and plopped my self
down in what I thought was my seat... I grabbed the
first piece and lifted it every so gently toward my
salivating taste buds when I looked up and noticed;

MY WIFE HAD GROWN A FULL BEARD AND MULLET IN MY ABSENCE!
HOLY CATS! I looked wildly about noticing other slight
differences in what when I'd left had been my family.

My daughter had gained about 30 years... Mom was thin.
My Dad's balding pate had filled in.

My mind screamed... "You are in the Twilight Zone!"

My panic lasted about 20 seconds. An eternity if you're
in an alternate dimension.

Then I realized I had accidentally sat one table away
from where *MY* family was located.

I know what I did... But, the question of this poll is
given the above situation, "What would you have done?"

(Please bear with me, this is my first Lounge Poll.)

1. I'd introduce myself, and ask them if I could interest them in a copy

of the latest bible pamphlets I have in my car and tell them that the end was nigh.

When they said no, THEN I'd slink away :)

2. So, what did YOU do.

C'mon, the suspense is killing me! :)

[Hugin]

7. Well, what I did was...

Break out into a soaking sweat, crack a big ol' grin... Then
make a hasty exit stage left.

Suffering a hail of laughter 'till the crowd had cycled.

Lived with comments from my Wife and Daughter for the rest
of the day.

Bacon was good though... I'd do it again for that.

;)

3. Well, have you ever been to a restaurant

where all the areas look similar? I met some people for lunch at one of the casinoes near me (not my choice) and we met at the buffet area. The buffet is round so when you leave you don't know exactly where you started from, or at least I didn't! I started to go back with my plate and could not figure out where my group was! It all looked the same to me. So I walked around trying to look like I knew where I was going when clearly I had no clue. Fortunately, I spotted another person from my group and started a conversation with them just so I could follwo them back to our tables. :crazy:

4. I've done similar things and it is humiliating for some reason.

5. Tell them about the wonderful business opportunity

that they can do from their home. If they said is it Amway? I'd say, "OH! You've heard of it, great!"

10. Also talk to them about Jehovah

11. This is a great response.

Hmm... A quicker wit than I.

I was thinking of maybe asking for some sugars from
their condiments. Like we were out. That'd provide
some cover.

Still, I like yours.... Never miss a sale! ;)

6. I'd die laughing at myself

too funny! I took a stranger's hand one day in a busy store thinking it was my boyfriend's.


life is full of fun ain't it?

:hug:

PS good poll !!

[Hugin]

8. Thanks.

:blush:

Yeah, I hugged onto some lady (Made her day lemme tell ya)
at the fair once.

My actual SO had diverted to some booth or another.

Didn't notice for quite some time. Not until I swung
her around for some smooching.

Ahh, but, that is a different story in my checkered past.

;)

9. Other

12. I'd say, "Excuse me! I'm terribly sorry. It must be time for new glasses."

Then I'd smile sheepishly and hurry off to my own table.

[donheld]

13. Tell the new table you thought there family looked nicer than your own

:evilgrin: There's no need to slink away in embarrassment. Just play along with it.

[Hugin]

14. The thought did flash through my mind...

But, being Mother's Day and all. I thought better of it.
Didn't want to shake up any mothers.

Or get called some kind of mother myself.

[skygazer]

15. I know exactly what I'd do

I'd burst out laughing and say, "I'm so sorry - I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going!" Then I'd get up and go to my own seat, chuckling heartily the entire way.

I mean, things like that are FUN!
