So, This Guy Ask Me To Take A Photo With Him

Post by KLJ77 »

We were at the Commissary last Wednesday when I saw this guy with a sign that said; "Take a photo with me." He kept smiling at me, which made me a bit wary of his request, but after evaluating the situation and taking a good look at him, I decided to oblige him. He didn't ask for my name, but I determined that his name was Mr. M. He had a nice smile and seemed to be harmless. Nevertheless, I held on to the back of him, ready to deploy some bravado martial arts on him if he started to act out due to our closeness. I also thought he was flipping me the bird at one point, but then realized that he must have lost his index finger in an accident, so I didn't say anything about it.

I told my wife to be ready to video any altercations that may come about, but all went well. After the photo, I gently released him and placed him back down on the floor. I smiled, my wife smiled, and Mr. M continued to smile, even as we walked away.

I don't recommend this to just anyone. Some don't like their photo taken, especially with strangers, albeit, I've seen some of his friends and relatives over the years. Kids may truly enjoy this, but again, one has to make sure they keep an eye on this guys hands so that he doesn't pull a demented joey bidum sniffing and grabbing event on them. He was wearing gloves, which I thought was a bit unusual. I suppose he wanted to avoid leaving fingerprints. He also had a really wierd hairdo. But I did like the shoes he was wearing.

He wanted me to sign up for a prize, but I decided to forego that process and move along. I thanked him for his time and professionalism during the photo take and wished him good luck toward his promotional criteria.

Can’t blame the guy for needing a job. Beats the crap out of the alternatives.
