Last week, before heading next door for eight hours of interviewing candidates, I was hanging out at a local Panera Bread sipping some fine coffee and taking advantage of their free WiFi – skimming the news and doing some work.
Coffee, of course, causes one to eventually have to visit the facilities. So I wandered down the hall and took my place at the urinal.
After a moment, an older man came in who appeared to be in his seventies. He was wearing a ballcap.
Out of the corner of my eye I notice that prior to approaching the urinal he removed his ballcap. He did his business – and then after stepping back from the urinal (I was now washing my hands) he placed his cap back on.
He must have noticed me looking at him rather oddly – after all, who removes their ballcap in this day and age inside a restroom – so he turns to me and says, “You gotta respect the cock”. And then he walks out.
I haven’t laughed so hard for weeks.
