Selling Ice to Eskimo's...

Ever since I was really little I have always been talking my out of things... Things that should get me in serious trouble, things that I should have never got away with, and I think it has made me a twisted individual. I very much enjoy bending rules as far as they can bend, it actually has become a hobby of mine. One of my favorite instances of this was on a date my senior year of High School. If you know me you know that I don't go on normal dates, I refuse to be lumped together with the other schmucks of my Gender and age so If I am going to take you on a date it is going to be the most amazing experience of your life and I will go to whatever limits I have to make it amazing. To get along with the story I was on a date with this Girl (Desiree, who is now engaged.. congrats!) The date starts off normal Roses, Dinner at Oregano's, but then I decide that we are going to the airport... which is a very weird place to take a girl on the first date but that's Justin Stein. We Park and get coffee at the Starbucks Kiosk and I decide to go down random "employees only" hallways to try to find a place on the roof where we can see the plans take off and land... (Congrats Sky Harbor on your top notch post 9/11 security) somehow after running down hallways and hiding from airport security we get to the top of a private parking deck, Which I assumed to be Pilot or ATC parking because of the abundant amount of BMW's and Mercedes. ( I couldn't find my way back there if I tried) So we sat and watched planes take off for twenty minutes and we started to head back to try to find the main concourse... Well as we are approaching the stairs a two well dressed airport employees give us a puzzled look and before they could ask what we were doing I did what I do best... blurted out the first thing that came to my mind and this is what came out...
" My Wife and I just got back from our honeymoon in Hawaii (While grabing her hand) and I seemed to have lost my car, we've been gone for a few weeks and I forget where we parked it could you point us in the direction of the parking garage D..." The woman had a big smile on her face and said " Oh... Congratulations! Yea that would be no problem...." and she preceded to give us directions...
The date ended and she raved the whole time is was the best day she had ever been on which may not be true now considering she is engaged, however the date was okay for me but I will never forget it now because of the sheer enjoyment I got out of breaking the rules and talking myself out of trouble... I think that may make me a bad person but what can you do right? everyone has there wildside... My Mom always had a phrase she would say to me when I would tell her about antics such as this and believe me there were many of them... She would say "Justin, You could sell ice to an eskimo!" maybe I'll put that on my "Bucket list" "Selling ice to an eskimo... Thanks for reading, I am glad you could peer into my life for a short while...

Your Ice Salesman,
