So there I was, making a quick trip to the ATM.
As I am returning from said trip There is a fellow with some obvious issues headed down the sidewalk toward me. What kind of issues? Mental health? Drug induced? Hard to tell. Possibly a combo of both? Not to far a stretch. He is working the winter-ish coat and pajama pants on a chilly December morning. Any way, As he is walking toward me he is rambling something, I have no idea what. And then it happens.
He lobs a cherry pie at me. It was an underhand toss, and had a good arc to it. I just watched it happen. That's all I could do.
I feel like I should make it clear this was not a pie in the sense of "Mom's made a pie for the holiday and its cooling on the window sill". This is of the store bought, crappy little snack pastry pie. I present to you the projectile in question.
Yep, I just stopped and watched this unfold. I mean, why not, really. It was entertaining. I found myself simply wondering what was going to happen next. Sadly, it was a little anti-climatic, as he raised his hand to mouth in a gesture of whispering something secret, mouthed something unintelligible, and walked away.
So I watched him go. And I bust out my phone-cam, cause that seemed the most appropriate thing to do at the moment. And of course, I laughed.
As I made my way back into work I found a trail of pies (still new in their wrappers), two different unopened Yerba Mate tea bottles (which i my opinion are disgusting and I really do not recommend them to anyone who likes tea), and three beer cans (also unopened, which really I can't understand in these circumstances, as I feel maybe he should have been consuming these to help fight off the chill).
Its an entertaining world out there. And amid the amount of chaos, sometimes there is just a random act of strangeness that makes you laugh.
