OK so I have a funny story, I met some college girls at the gym this morning. And after talking we began to work out together. One of the girls asked me what I did. I told her that I was a poet, and an author.She said oh cool, so I bet you can’t wait to get a guide dog, because then it will make you more independent when you are writing, you won’t have to ask anyone to write for you, because the dog can tell you whether or not you are staying in between the lines.

I looked at her with my serious face, and I proceeded to say. Yes and you know what else is cool guy dogs come with programmable voices, I want my dog to have a British accent. She said yes British accents are pretty cool. I don’t think she was understanding.

I said to her, you know that dogs can’t talk right? At this point her friends are dying laughing, full on almost in tears.

She said well I don’t know, I thought the government made guide dogs for the blind by genetically modify their jeans with human genes in order to make them smarter, I mean how else can they tell you where you are going when you are walking

Ed this point I really thought she was joking, so I said no they implant a chip inside of my brain, and it allows me to see through my Guide dogs eyes.

She said oh wow that sounds practical, I should have thought of that first. I can see how that could be better, plus women wouldn’t know if you were looking up their skirts. Being a blind person sounds fun

The funny thing about this whole interaction, she was deadly serious, I think I’m just going to let her go on thinking that. Every time she meets another blind person, and they have a guy dog, she will make sure the guy dog doesn’t walk too close to her.
