Overheard...

Two guys were sitting at the table behind me in my marketing class today. While we waited for class to begin, one of them was passing the time by reading the campus newspaper. I’m certain the many red-colored ads caught his attention, for this is the conversation I overheard:

Guy #1, very casually: “So when is Valentine’s Day, anyway?”

Guy #2, equally casual: “February 14th.”

After a small pause, Guy #1: “It’s on February 14th every year, isn’t it?”

Chuckling, Guy #2: “Yeah.” Another pause and then, “I don’t have to worry about it this year—she’ll be out of town.”

I hope he didn’t like her too much...
