Right and wrong places....

So, like this yesterday, i catch up with Paul on the bus on the way back home..
After the usual " What's ups?" and " Howzzit goings?", Paul like draws close to me and says something. ( This scares me first. because the grapewine has it that Paul is gay, and although aware of it, i dint know for real..And i hav no intention of finding out for real by myself. Its his life man, and he is just a good friend- as long as he doesnt make advances and all).

SO, coming back....

Paul: Yesterday, i realized by myself what they mean by saying " You were in the wrong place in the right time".

This scares me rightaway, and i thot " Ah, man...so this guy is into drugs, and yesterday, he was just lucky not to be fooling ard. when the cops came busting. I hav to help him kick it off". - That was my thot, random thot, the moment he said those words, these very thots occured to me. Tryin to wrtite novels does that to be people.

I check myself in the nick of time when i was abt to ask " Did the cops bust you ?" and substitued that with a polite, dignified " What happened?" . I was darn proud of it, i really was.

Paul: Dont tell it to anyone. But yesterday, in the NFS building, i had this sudden, intense urge to discharge immediately and i without reading the signs i walked into the ladies restroom.

Me: Wow...Cool! So, what happened. Anybody home?

Paul: No man. I was darn lucky. There wasnt nobody in there. I dint realize it first. Then there were all those sanitary diaper dispensers with a coin slot for 25 c all over the place. I just checked to make sure i was unseen, prayed nobody would watch me coming out and burst off.

I was like " What does he mean by burst off? Does he intend the pun? "

Paul: When i walked out, thats when i realized ' I was in the wrong place in the right time'.

Me: Paul..Man. I would say you were at the 'Right place inthe wrong time'.

Paul: Are you crazy? I wuda been finished if smebody had seen and reported.

I dont like reality, and this logic, i definitely dint like. It seemed so reality.

Me: Hey, ok, so tell me, did you do it or not? (Read - did you take a leak at the ladies restroom?)

I was damn suave and clever at changin the topic and i asked this in a very clever way...No way you can question what the qusetion's about, but straying and flirting dangerously with the limits of pretended innocence...like that guy asks the old lady in "Titanic"...That suave..Suave as hell.

Paul: No man. I just barge out. I just had to get out of there, you know what i'm saying...

Me: Ah..man. If you had just checke and read the signs, you wudnt have been thro the trauma man, and you cuda hit off faster.

While i was thinking " That confirms it. he is gay. He is sure gay!"
