Because 35 is soooo old....

Sorry, I have been distracted with the end of summer. Let's move on to the next one shall we? This one is not so much humorous as I feel sad for the poor old pooch. (You'll get that bad joke later).

THE POOPER SCOOPER

So I had started chatting with the Pooper Scooper about the same as the Ninja Masseuse. He was very much into Hockey (good), was impressed with my goal of black belt (good), and seemed to have a good sense of humor (*Ding ding ding*). We met up for a coffee and he picked me out in the parking lot with a "Hey, Ninja!". Coffee seemed to go well, we had an easy conversation and decided to take a walk around the Dyke while we finished the last of our drinks. Then I found out that he scooped poop for a living. That's right, he scooped the poop. It wasn't even his own company, he worked for a friend. He did make a valid point though...that he got to hang around with dogs all day, what could be better than that.

So putting the choice of his employment aside I agreed to go for dinner with him. He left it up to me so I decided on Sushi (always a good idea if you aren't so sure, usually a quickly served meal so if the date is not so good you aren't stuck for a long time, you can tell how adventurous someone is by their roll choices and if it is a good date it's light enough that you can continue the date with a little dessert and coffee ;) ) This is where things went slightly sour. The topic went to work in which he told me he was now looking to find a new job and then started talking about a government job and how much money he would make, how he didn't like his pooper scooper boss and then back to how much money he would make with this new job. Because I'm a sucker for punishment sometimes I agreed to grab a coffee afterward. There was a glimmer of hope when we started talking hobbies/activities until all of a sudden he was too old for everything. Too old for camping. Too old to try martial arts. Too old for hiking. He did play softball but felt like he was getting too old for the running. Oye, the guy was only 35! So long story short there was no future dates in store for this one, I mean I was a young 32 at the time. No need to drag myself down with an 'old' man. ;)
