Hospitals, banks, restaurants, gas stations...

We had some company this weekend , so that was fun. The two little girls that were flower girls in my wedding. Yeah, they're in college now.

That's not good for me.

Anyway, they're from Mississippi, so they stayed with us and went to the game. I had them all worked up about how much fun they were going to have. Welllll, let's just say...not so much.

They learned that there are some fans out there that just cling to football out of the need to belong to something. And they get all tattooed up and painted up and sloppy drunk up and bless their hearts, they haven't even ever darkened the doorway of a classroom at the university. (Not that you have to go to a university. I'm just sayin'. I have never figured out how people can be that over the top about a school -essentially a group of buildings- that they never even attended.)

And those people can be rude, crude, and just plain mean. Even to young ladies.

But the girls knew those people didn't represent the state or even alumni as a whole. They obviously have a lot more sense than all the people out their with crimson tats and no degrees. Again- degree not required. Still, don't understand tattoos of colleges you never attended.

What if people got tattoos of places they never worked? That would be so great. I could sit here all night thinking of random tattoos of various occupations (ohhhh, now you get the title of this post) that would absolutely make my day to see...in a sad kind of way.

I did meet a girl once who had a tattoo of a place she had never been. She had the shape of Africa tattooed on her calf.

So I say to her,"So do you do mission work or anything in Africa?"
She says no, that she just really wants to bring awareness to the injustice that goes on there.

Oh.

Okay. So what about on the days you wear pants?

She hadn't really thought that far in advance. You know, before she had her body permanently colored on.

I mean seriously people.

Well I have got to go. I have to get directions because I'm going into the big city tomorrow and that is a big deal for this home-body. Thanks to MapQuest, though, my trips to the big city will no longer be blog worthy. So that's good. Of course, this is me. I'm sure I can find a way to mess it up. You may want to stay tuned...
