You Know Lyle?


I'm in the restroom at the movie theater last night washing my hands when I overhear the following conversation between two strangers on either side of me at the sink. I thought it was funny enough to share:

Guy #1: You know Lyle?

Guy #2: (No response)

Guy #1: (Louder) You know Lyle?

Guy #2: (No response. I look over and notice he's wearing a Lyle Lovett concert t-shirt)

Guy #1: (Goes over and taps Guy #2) You know Lyle?

Guy #2: What? Oh. No. (Confused pause) Do you?

Guy #1: (Proudly) I met him for the first time 13 years ago.

Guy #2: So, are you guys pretty tight?

Guy #1: (Hands on his hips, nodding) Nope. But he's a really great guy though.

Guy #2: (Nodding) Cool. (Slowly walks away)

Don't ever talk to strangers in the public bathroom. It's uncomfortable for everyone involved. Also, don't ever assume that wearing a concert t-shirt means that the wearer knows the artist.
