I knew this gorgeous woman - I knew her from the neighbourhood pub where I went for an hour or two in the evening, hanging on to a pint of ale and, often, shooting some pool.
We got quite chummy (we were all quite chummy there, invited each other to our houses etc) and one day she asked me up for a cup of coffee. I told her that I was
quite interested in getting to know her better and maybe take our relationship up a level.
She told me that that was very complimentary and that she appreciated it, but she could not concentrate on that kind of relationship at the moment because
in her world it was more important just now to fight against the plans by the German government to sell a couple of submarines to fascist Pinochet in Chile.
w.t.f. No submarines for Chile? I am pretty sure he did NOT use submarines to kill his political internees. {eye roll}
That was about the most bizarre "thanks, but no thanks" almost-date brush off that I've ever received. Still have to laugh when I think of it.
