What you learn while waiting in line . . .

I was waiting in line at the college bookstore with my son this week. Since it was the beginning of the semester, the line was literally out the door so we had a bit of a wait to pay for the books. Next to us in line were two, strapping young men who were chatting back and forth to each other. Suddenly, one of them caught sight of a curvaceous young lady at the check out counter. She was wearing a skin tight, short dress that showed off her shapely but large backside. The way she was leaning into the counter, you could tell that she knew she was looking good and hoped her assets were drawing masculine attention. I'm here to tell you that she had been noticed by the two young men in line with us but, probably, not in the way she was hoping.

One guy said, "Who is that girl trying to imitate? Angelina Jolie?"

Second guy replied, " Yeah, I know, what's with that? Everywhere I look, the girls are showing off their butts."

First guy, "Must have seen a hundred of them today."

Second guy, "Yeah . . ."

And with that, the two college students shrugged, looked away, and started talking about something else. I'm sure this was not the reaction the young lady in the short, tight dress was looking for but even these young guys were obviously in overload in respect to the body parts on display.  And if there were that many young ladies putting themselves on display, their attempts to be dazzling and different just made them boring, leaving no mystery.

The girl at the counter sauntered off, wiggling her behind but the two guys in line with us were no longer bothering to look.
