Ok, this was about a month ago - but since no 1 on this site has ever heard this story, you can all just pretend it was yesterday. Sound good? ok - here we go.

So I'm at the mall with three friends, and you know those people that stand around and are all like, "Can you guys help me for a sec?" and ask you to fill out some little note card thingy? Well, we saw a table for one of those, but nobody was there - so I took one of the booklets of papers, and started to hand them out to people that we passed. I'd hand them to people, or try to get them to take them, I left them in places (On stands, in stores, in the plants, etc.) and even in places like baby carriages of people passing by. Well, we were walking by this play pen thingy and there was this baby crawling around on the blocks surrounding the play area. So, I stuck one on her leg, joking around. While I snickered with my friends, I heard a booming terror of a voice from behind me. "HEY! SMART-SS!!!" I began to walk a bit more quickly. "SMART-SS! HEY!!!! HEY!!!!" Not having been informed that my name had just been changed to smart-ss, I took a wild guess that he was talking to me and I turned around as my friends continued to walk away (Thanks again for your support guys). "I thought you wanted a handout." I said with a friendly smile. "You're gonna give a handout to a f-cking 19 month old baby!? DOn't Be a Smart-ss." I could see that the paper I gently placed on his baby's leg was doing far more damage to it then her ranting father's obscene language. "You can give it back if you'd like, sir." I told him. "Just don't be a smart-ss." He said again as he shoved the paper into me. I'm not sure the point he was trying to get across, but I think he was trying to tell me that he thought it was a very funny joke - and he appreciated my sense of humor. "Have a nice day." I told him. He sat down grumpily and I walked toward the store my friends had crept into shaking with laughter.
