Old People Are So Awkward

So today was an awesome day. I thought the highlight of my day would have been when Tesoro Boy's Swim beat Mission 93-77! Yes, believe it. Not only did they lose, but today was the first time apparently in history that they lost two meets in a row, and to who? Tesoro, I know, hold your applause. So, since today was the last dual meet ever for the seniors, some of us decided to go to the movies, considering we have late start tomorrow.

Stephen, Kimmy, Megan, Chicago, and I proceeded to go see the widely popular move, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It was an awesome movie, but you might be wondering why the title is about awkward old people. Well, let me tell you.

We get to the theater, and I have to pee like a race horse so I get my ticket and bolt inside. All I want to do is give the guy my ticket and run. And what do you know, an old man is taking tickets and he decides to greet every person, and give them a little speech on what they are about to see. On any other occasion, this would be oh so precious, but when your bladder is about to explode, not much is funny. Then he proceeds to ask Megan Atkins if she is old enough to see this raunchy movie. It was hysterical, but nevertheless awkward hearing this 70 year old man say "raunchy". But what can you do, we moved on.

So we watch the movie, have a few laughs, and head out. And as we are leaving, we see the old man and we wave to him, wishing him a good night. Get ready, what happens next, may God strike me dead if I exaggerate this at all. Mind you, he is pushing 75-80.

Us: "Goodnight Mister! Have a nice night."
Him: "Goodnight everyone. Did you enjoy the movie?"
Us: "Yes, it was very funny."
Him: "Oh good,(then with some very provocative hand gesture) did you learn some new ways to do it?"

WHO SAYS THAT!?!?!!?!

It was so awkward, none of us said anything, we just all kind of mumbled, "Oooohhh yeahhh?" Then once we are outside we all bust out laughing out of the hysterical, shock factor, and just the unbelievable-ness(word?) of this situation. And, did we look like that big of hooligans that we were going to go home and practice our new "techniques"? Don't answer that. This was one of those things that you see in the movie, that never happens to you.

Probably the best part of the movie(probably won't think it is if you haven't seen it):
Sarah Marshall: "Boshit, boshit, boshit. Get me some cranberry. No drinks for me. Boshit, boshit, boshit."

Thanks for caring.
