Fast forward fifteen years and here I am knee deep in the general public. Last week I was asked out by an ax murderer. Well, I don\u2019t know if he actually used an ax to murder his victim but I still cautiously declined. Then there was this other dude at my desk today eating sunflower seeds and spitting the shells in a ziploc baggy. And when he looked up to talk to me he had shells all stuck to his lips and spit running down his chin. I was all like\u2026<\/p>\n
