Homeless man (to Carolyn and I): Hey ladies, *mumble...money...*mumble *mumble
Us: Sorry, have a good night.
Homeless man: *mumble *mumble
**This is where it gets weird. Up until this point, Dan had been a very mild-mannered guy; telling funny stories and jokes at dinner and being very smiley. There was no warning that he would act this way.**
Dan: Hey, is your name James? (I thought they were going to do a special handshake, hug, or something, the tone of his voice was so friendly)
Homeless man: Yeah, I'm James. *mumble *mumble (I'm pretty sure I caught a semi-toothless smile in there too. I think he was thinking he'd get some money from his "friend" that recognized him)
Dan: You tried to stab me 10 years ago. Fuck off! (He starts walking away and the rest of us follow, totally dumbfounded and caught off-guard by what we just witnessed)
Homeless man: *mumble...didn't...stab...*mumble (shuffles off into the night)
WHAT?! What just happened? THAT'S TOTALLY CREEPY...and bizarre!
And then the 4 of us proceeded to cross the street and go into the bar and have drinks and a nice night. Apparently, James tried to chase Dan down and stab him 10 years ago, right near the bar we were at, and well, I guess you never forget a face when it's chasing you...trying to stab you.
It was definitely one of those "you had to be there" moments, but the way that Dan was able to switch gears from mild-mannered guy to "fuck off!" guy was truly spectacular.
who the fuck is "Dan"?
