Ruth MottramI had Jehovah's Witnesses round this morning (not a very common occurrence round here).
Them: "Do you ever think about the future?"
Me: "I'm a climate scientist, I think it about the future all the time.."
Jon@Ruth_Mottram Recalls when I was walking across the UNC-CH campus and was accosted by two missionaries:
M: "Have you heard of the Church of JC of LDS?"
Me: "Yes indeed. In fact, I spent the last week on the BYU campus!" (true, I had gone to a ballroom dance camp there).
In their momentary confusion, I made a break for it. (1/2)
Another year at the BYU dance camp I was in the student infirmary for a knee problem, and a very attractive young lady struck up a conversation with me while we were waiting, having seen my home city on my nametag. I was confused but interested until she asked if I knew so-and-so in her friend's Ward, and I had to explain I was not LDS, at which point she lost all interest. Clearly shopping for husband material. (2/2)
