good looking boys

It's a well documented fact (by me anyway) that I have strange taste in men. They're either...eclectic, or extremely super duper good looking.

Today, as I popped into work to run a few errands on my day off, a customer sitting with his girlfriend caught my eye.

I nudged Tom. "Oei, cute guy on table 96"

Tom simply rolled his eyes. "I like girls. GIRLS!"

My coffee arrived and I sat outside with Gerri and my manager, and told them about the cute guy

Gerri peered in and saw the girlfriend, who was Indian.

"Is the guy Indian?"

"Yes"

"You and your bloody Indian fetish!!!!"

"I DO NOT HAVE AN INDIAN FETISH. I simply like tanned men more than fair men. Like Tom's a nice shade" I point my chin towards Tom, who was steadily approaching in his Filipino tan with some free food.

Gerri rolls her eyes. "Yeah yeah, Tyson Beckford."

Manager swoons at the very mention.

Gerri wrinkles her nose"but he has tattoos. So many!"

cue more swooning.

I recover enough to correct her

"Takeshi Kaneshiro, Johnny Depp, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers...and that's just the ones I deem good-looking. Besides. You and Jen have the same taste while I operate on some different level of reality. I mean, CURRY GUY DOWNSTAIRS!!!!! he's got a tan- me no like. Takeshi fair. Me like. "

I mock retch.

"well if I had to pick the best looking guy from work, it'd be Thomas. That really fair baby faced look I know YOU DON'T LIKE"

we laugh.

"and Andy...so not my...."

"He's a good boyfriend" I cut in

"yeah but too skinny"

"naaah. but you know me, I'd rather them skinny than plump. whereas you're the other way around"

we laugh again.

It's so good we have such different taste in men I mentioned to the manager. We'll never fight.

Then as I'm about to leave, Gerri runs up to me.

"OH MY GOD. I SAW THE GUY YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT. HE'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD LOOKING!!!!!!!"

The manager shoots me a look.

I laugh.

"I've got great taste" I say as I turn on my heel.
