"Well I gotta smile---fo' everyone I meet"...

[J.G.]

VENTETTE:

Really, I DO. See --> : D

Now what I wanna know is, what the hell is the problem with that?

I just got back from a trek to and from a far away grocery store, where I travelled to on foot, and in said journey, I passed a number of other humans, who for the most part returned my pleasant grin with either a grimace, a furrowed brow or for the least part, another smile.

How many of you out there, if when smiled at by a passer-by, return that lil emoticon with the same, or at least a nod, or maybe even an armpit fart? ; )

I wanna know what's in the heads of these grumps? I wanna know why anyone would choose to return a pleasant acknowledgment of one's existence with poo--even if they're not in a fowl mood, even if they're French!? Heh heh, a--hohn-HOHN!

It's not like I have the look of an evil-doer, or a crackhead, or even a postal worker, (WHO by the way, are some of the ones who usually DO flip me a, "Bonjour", when I come across them on their loaded bikes), so WHAT THE HELL IS UP/down WITH MOST FOLKS THESE DAYS??

Though I obviously find this topic vent-worthy, I will not cease in my barrage of pleasantries toward the other monkeys, as it is my duty as a good egg, but seriously--is it just that most of the eggs out there are bad--or is it something else I'm missing?

(Maybe I DO look like a crackhead?)

You have got to be kidding me.
:D

(joooo-king !)

I quite look forward to becoming a grumpy old bastard if I get to a wise age. :lol:

[TSTW]

Yep. Cant wait to receive an armpit fart.

That will truly make my day!

[J.G.]

I reckon it would surely make mine too, TSTW and likely a new pal in the mix...

And with that silly, stifled, convex, (or is that concave?), sound, the friendship was forever sealed.

Not like any crackhead I ever met! Armpit farts can be good, armpits can be good, (get outta here tstWise.......), and good to see ya'll here with those dulcet tones, however you choose to make 'em.

I'm one of those grumpy folks who rarely return smilies....

After being slapped a few thousand times for smiling because I thought the smile was directed at me Ive learned to ignore smiles because they obviously are for the person around me...

I used to be able to do armpit farts before stricken with puberty...

Now I get a handfull of deoderant residue and some hair...

I smile at everyone. My dear old Dad always said "Son, keep smiling. That way the bastards will never be quite sure what you're thinking!"

:grin:

I often greet strangers who are walking/ jogging in the opposite direction when I'm out walking or jogging in my area.

It's largely a population density thing, I think. They just put up a lot of housing within about a mile of here, the kind of condo/ gated community/ lo-rise wooden aparrtment buildings that are goin up all over Long Island.

Not sure how that's going to effect things Roll eyes

Other than fuck up traffic Razz
