Another GFY
I left work yesterday with my boss. We started chatting about a co-worker whose last day is on Friday. It's a shame really, because I really like the girl that is leaving. Anyway, as we are walking down Brookline Ave, two guys approach us.
"Do you guys know how to get to Comm Ave?"
I mention it is good that they asked when they did, because they were headed in the completely wrong direction. I was walking in the direction they were, so I tagged along and pointed them to where they wanted to go. They then said they wanted to do the Freedom Trail, in which I replied that they'd probably want to take the T since it is about a 30 min+ walk from Kenmore. They said they wanted to walk. To each his own, right?
Even though one of the guys is decked out in Red Sox shit, he definitely wasn't from around here. I find out they are from Indiana. I tell them where they can see the USS Constitution, Harvard, MIT, the works (I used to be a guide on a riverboat that goes up and down the Charles River).
Once again, I mention the T, but they'd rather hoof it. Then, they ask me my name.
"I'm Joc." <----insert real name here
"Thanks Joc. We'll hook you up with a buddy of ours. His name is Jesus"
And then I turn into the Bank of America to spend $3 on an ATM fee..........................................
Why the hell did they say that? Why are Jesus people attracted to me so much? I was up in Toronto years and years back when people saw my Chai and started talking religion to me. I find out they are Jews for Jesus. I am working at the Cask n Flagon across from Fenway, and some kid preaching religion turns to me and says "Jesus loves you".
Unless he wants to put his carpentry skills to good use by building me a 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath French Colonial, with a gas/electric stove/oven, central air, gas heat, fenced in yard, and hardwood floors, tell JESUS to leave me the F alone.
