Ziggy Zaggy Ziggy Zaggy Oi Oi What?!
So Ang, Jason, Fran and I went to Oktoberfest last night. The girls went off to dance while Jason and I hung around drinking beer and talking. After a while, Jason went to the washroom, and I stood around by the sausage stand to wait for him. That's when this large, dirty man approached me. He was wearing a ball cap with a helium balloon attached to it, and was holding a beer in each hand. When he opened his mouth the sweet smell of pot and booze wafted out. I knew this was going to be a memorable conversation.
Drunk Guy: "You're on the sidelines and I'm behind you!"
Me: "Excuse me?"
Drunk Guy: "If you're on the sidelines and I'm behind you, then what does that make me?"
Me: "I'm sure I don't know."
Drunk Guy: "Do you know what Asimov has to say about people on the sidelines?"
Me: desperately looking for my friends "No."
Drunk Guy: "He says one day they'll come out of the sidelines and into the action."
Me: "Uh-huh."
Drunk Guy: "When will you get into the action?"
Me: "Real soon."
Drunk Guy: "Do you want a beer?"
Me: "No thanks. Good bye."
That's when I spotted Jason and left. I mean, what's Oktoberfest without a crazy drunk reflecting on Asimov and human nature?
