Here comes the...companion??!?

You meet a lot of crazy people riding the bus. But yesterday I met a truly insane man. I do not lie. He admitted it to me. He also asked me to be his "life companion." Here's the story:

So there I was on the bus, listening to my Ipod and staring into space, when an old man gets on and sits directly in front of me. The seats were facing each other so we were basically staring at each other. Or, he was staring at me and I was awkwardly trying not to look at him.

Then he started to talk to me, but I couldn't here him because of the music in my ears, so I took out my Ipod. He just sat there rambling on and on and I couldn't hear him half of the time because the bus was loud. He said things like "I'm so in shape for being 60 years old...i've lost 40 pounds (he had as good a physique as Santa)...you are all so righteous here...i've been locked away in the insane asylum and in the hospital for a few years...i'm righteous now so i'm trying to find a companion." Interesting fella, wouldn't you say? Then he proceeded to tell me that I would find a companion for life who looked just like him.

That's when I started to be really creeped out by this man. Then he asked me if I would like to be his life companion. I told him NO and then he said he'd wait for me to "be ready."

I have now had my first proposal...i'm flattered. Kinda.
