This past Saturday I was at one of the chain book stores letting my oldest pick out his reward for the week. I was in my khaki AK looking at some of the off beat tattoo magazines, when one of the girls that worked there came up to me and asked "Um, this may sound strange but, do you have an accent?"

Now, I was preparing for "the" question, so I stammered for a second, and then told her that I did not have an accent (except a slight southern accent). She then had me go to her friend and talk to her to prove that I did not have an accent.

A very strange day at the bookstore.

Oh, I did get very nice compliments from them, and from another group of females as my son and I were walking back to meet up w/ my wife.
