Last night in the car, Steven told me the weirdest story. While we were still in Arlington, he was out and about, looking for a cheap pair of headphones to use while he worked out at the YMCA. For some reason he decided to go into the Mobil station on W. 518. He asks the Indian guy behind the counter “hey, do you have any cheap headphones?” The guy replies with a thick accent “Okay, buddy, just a sec, just a sec,” and begins to sort of furtively clear people out of the store.
He then walks up to Steven in a confidential way and says “with intense eyes and a hushed voice”—(Steven’s exact wording)--, “So…you want the sex tablets?”
Um....What?
At first Steven thinks to himself “Did he just ask me if I wanted sextuplets?” But seeing as how that didn’t make any more sense than the first question, he somewhat awkwardly explained that no, he just wanted some headphones. The guy continues to press the “sex tablets” on him until Steven rather hurriedly excused himself from the store.
So my question is: was the guy selling Ecstasy out of the back of his store, or was he running some kind of illegal Canadian Viagra racket? The thought of some terribly embarrassed middle-aged man sneaking to the Mobil station in the middle of the night to buy illicit erectile-dysfunction medication (especially from the not-too-discreet Indian guy behind the counter) is absolutely hilarious.
You might want to stay out of that Mobil station.

Hilarious! That guy obviously had SOMETHING going on if he asked Steven to wait! PLus, he may need to get his hearing checked...headphones vs sex tablets? Yeah, they sound nothing alike!!
Don't you love code? You know, Taco is my code for burrito.... Do you think anyone will figure it out?
Oh wow. That is absolutely hilarious. I just snorted out loud at my desk at work and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. I love it!
