While Waiting at a Stop Light...

kybearfuzzYesterday on the drive home from the gym, I saw a bumper sticker on a small car:
"Thespians Do It On Stage"
In my mind, I had to add... "but they fake it..."
There is an odd little game I play when I'm alone in my car sitting at a stop light. As the cars go by, I look at the driver and play "Yes... No... Maybe..." In this game, I see the drivers as they drive by and say "Yes" if I'd go for them (read whatever you want into this -- date, kiss, shag, etc.), "No" if I wouldn't, and "Maybe" if I felt I needed more than a few seconds glanzing to make the call.
In some cases, depending on mood, the game might become a bit more emphatic. A hot bear in a pickup truck might get a "Oh hell yeah!" while a toupeed guy in a Ford Pinto might illicit a "dear god no...!"
There are also times when the stoplight is nothing but soccer mom vans and little old ladies driving enormous land-roving vehicles. Slow moments at the stop lights, to be sure. The wheels in mind spin in odd ways, it goes back to the days when I was left to occupy myself without getting into trouble. This stop light game came from this and I find it generally passes the time.
Oh, and the guy with the bumper sticker? He was a no.
