Hot, Hot Pink

The caller ID said, “Unknown Number”

The guy on the line caught my attention with his opening,

“I love that line on your website, ‘Blame my mother, she married a flat-footed man.’

He’d done his homework and sounded sort of theatrical.

Turns out, he was selling website security -100% hacker free.

I told him I wasn’t going to buy a thing, that my company didn’t want or need his services, but  we chatted a bit more about tango and shoes, then he signed off saying “And I’ll tell my wife about those shoes.”

 “Wife?”  I said, 

“I thought you might want your own pair of high heels.”

 “Well, I AM from the Bay area.” he purred,  

“and hot pink IS my color, in a size 13”
