THE FOOT GUY
There's this guy that gets on the 4 a lot. He kind of gives me the creeps. He carries a big stick that I assume he is using as a cane. He is a big white guy that obviously has some mobility issues.
He put the icing on the cake of creepiness a while ago. He got on my bus and sat towards the front, like he usually does. All of us in the front were gabbing and having a pretty good time. As the big guy got off, he handed me a "business" card. It was offering a free foot massage! It gave his name and phone number and had a picture of a foot on it. Maybe it's just me, but it said "serial killer" all over it...in my mind.
I don't think I'll be calling that number!

I find this odd that he has a hard time walking, yet he massages feet.
Also, since I figured out I have to be signed in (works slightly better) If you can drive a bus in Minneapolis, this guy doesn't have a chance.
Dale - too funny, I hadn't thought of that. He does walk but who knows...I'm thinking foot fetish.
You are absolutely right...he has no chance here. He will never know what color toenail polish I have on. Hehehe.
Thanks for reading and leaving comments. You rock.(By the way, nice truck. Is it yours or is it "borrowed" like the convertible Mercedes I got my pic taken next to once.
I have had 2 prank calls from some guy who calls random business phone numbers in Minneapolis asking, "If I were an inch tall and in your shoe, what would you do?" No matter what answer you give, he has a response and goes on to ask questions like, "what would you be wearing on your feet?", etc. VERY CREEPY! So, yeah, I get what you mean...
That is the truck from Local 120. That is about as close to driving it as I will ever get. Keep writing, reminds me of when I grew up in North Minneapolis. Nothing has changed.
HEY!! My comment didn't show up...I'll write it again.
Sassy - Yep, there are a lot of nuts out there. Some days I think they ALL ride my bus. Like they just WAIT for mine or something!
Dale - Still, a nice truck. I plan to keep writing as long as characters keep getting on my bus and providing me with the material. Could be a very long time!!
I have a feeling you will never have a shortage of good material.
Dale - I agree. In fact, I've had people tell me I should write a book. I think a movie or series like the old sitcom "taxi" would be do-able. Who knows. For now, I'll stick with the blogs.
hey red how's things going??? just asking if next year at the bus rodeo i can give you a foot massage??? also just asking do you have any swedish or norwiegin in you??? lol so you in albert lea
Purse - EWWW - I hate the name "red". You shall be forgiven... this time. My feet are naturally cute. They don't need a massage. Thanks, anyway. ;) I'll be warning Albert Lea that you will be there. I'll also be bringing my fellow Roadeo Princesses to make sure you behave. Should be a good time!
Let's see if I got it right yet!
Ta Da! I keep forgetting my darn password.....anyway....I had the foot guy approach me too Jeanne.....I see serial killer in his eyes too.....he didn't get on my bus...he was waiting for the rte.4 and I was a rte.11...but he handed me his business card through the open door anyway.....didn't give it much thought at the time as I shoved it in my shirt pocket, said "thanks, gotta go" shut the doors and took off......later when I looked at what the card said well....I'm right there with you hon.........foot fetish.....serial killer. Whoa......not for me!!!!!!!
Martini - maybe we should set him up with someone. Who do we want bumped off...feet first...hehehe.
I'm *not* the creepy guy you described but Jeez! I have a foot fetish too but I'm not out to hurt anyone. I don't blame anyone for being cautious... letting a stranger in your house or going to a stranger's house is a *bad* idea. Sounds like his approach needs work. I've written a book myself and I hand out business cards to promote it (no mention of feet though). It's titled The Conscience of a Communist and will be available at this link as of 2 January 2009. Have a nice day and hope to see you on the bus again!
John,
Thanks for your comment...and good luck with your book! I think this blog is the closest I'll ever come to writing a book...who knows??!!
