Ye Olde Friends

Comedy

Logline: A man reconnects with an old friend and finds himself in a spicy situation.

I have several documents where I jot down ideas on a whim that I would like to write about later. This was one of them. It was inspired by the numerous times I've been approached by people that offer religion, pyramid scheme business stuff, and things of that nature. They will come in hot, engage in pleasant conversation, and then move in for the kill. If you know me, I'm a very "get to the point" type person. But I always give people a chance to actually get to their point unless they're suspiciously beating around the bush, then I'll ask them to "get to the point" in a polite way. In all honesty, I think it's fascinating, how people approach someone, and the reason they approach me. Maybe it's because I'm always alone doing something, maybe they see me as an easy target, someone vulnerable and lost. But I think I'm just a naturally curious person so while I look lost, I'm just curious.

Anyway, I made a funny story about this type of experience.
