neighbors

A knock on my door at 9:22 a.m. I open, expecting it to be my super--he's supposed to fix a leak in my ceiling. But it's a young, fresh-faced guy with a sheepish smile.

"Are you against HIV?" he asks.

"Yeah."

"Do you have any condoms?"

I don't get it. Are there people out there that is trying to spread HIV? Does somebody see something positive in the disease? Either I'm a dunce or this prosethelitizer needs to revamp his opening statement.

I think he was about to get laid. And I commend him for having sex at 9:30 in the morning.

I did not consider, however, that he might have been implying, "If you don't give me this condom, I'm going to give someone HIV."

A good pitch nonetheless. Takes some chutzpah to ask a neighbor you've never met for a rubber.
