Every (Bad) Crowd Has A Silver Lining (When I was in college, I used to work in the cafeteria. On this day, two girls are making fun of a third.) Mean Girl #1: "Oooooh, a hamburger? So much for that diet." Mean Girl #2: "Are you kidding? She's never been on a diet in her life!" (The third girl who they are talking to is, for the record, very nice looking.) Girl #3: *taken aback* "I...I worked out today. I need the protein." Me: "Come on, leave her alone. She can eat whatever she wants!" Mean Girl #1: "Yeah, I guess you don't have to worry about what you eat if you're already fat and ugly!" (One of my coworkers has been listening from a distance. He walks over, looks all three girls up and down, and then turns to the third.) Coworker: "Excuse me, miss, but do you think I could get your phone number?" Girl #3: "Are you serious?" Coworker: "Completely! Who wouldn't want a date with a beautiful girl who knows how to take care of herself?" (This was five years ago. I'm going to be the best man at their wedding.)
