Awkward...

Okay, so I was out to dinner with a group tonight. I've only met one of the guys once, otherwise, I knew pretty much everyone well enough.

So at some point during the dinner, new guy mentions something about going to get his MLS (library science degree)... now, having worked for a public library for ten years, I jokingly leaned over and said "are you sure about that decision?"

Apparently he doesn't possess a sense of humor, so he looks at me pretty dejected and with the straightest face ever goes "yes."

Wow, that was awkward as shit.

Almost as bad as the time I said "wouldn't it suck if you didn't have legs?" and some kid says "my dad lost his legs."

There's not much more to do than to just walk away at that point.

Anyway, I spent the rest of the evening standing outside the bar, avoiding dude.
