I gotta tell u this one.

Sometimes I use a green mask on my face during the day for my complexion (don't hate me 'cuz I'm beautiful). Well, today I was very involved with the market and had put the mask on before starting my trading.

I am also trying to quit smoking. Well about noon I couldn't stand it anymore and had to duck out for some smokes. As I was walking down the street I noticed a few girls checking me out, so I put on my strut a little. Some other guys were looking at me also, but I just blew it off.

As I was on the corner waiting for the light to change so I could cross, a limo pulled up next to me and the back window rolled down and I was getting the eye by this middle aged woman pretty hard. "Yeah, still got it." I thought.

I went into my local store for the smokes and when the cashier looked up he seemed kinda startled, but he is from Pakistan so I paid him no mind. As I pushed open the door to go outside, I caught a glimpse of myself in the reflection of the glass, and damn it, I looked like a human frog.

Green, green, green. I let out a huge cackle and ran home laughing my ass off at my own folly. True story, hope you liked it...
