Working Humor
Okay, so I have hooked up w/ another gal to do MT work & 2 days a week we're at an apartment complex in their aerobics room at the brand new clubhouse.
This place has a tanning booth that looks like something from a sci-fi movie. It's one of those stand up ones that you literally walk into it & close the door behind you & it turns on.
So, Rhonda & I were joking on Monday that it's actually a time machine or that we keep expecting Jeff Goldblum to come out of it, since it looks like his machine from The Fly.
Come on, you look at something like this -
(minus the model, of course :-p) and wouldn't you think the same thing? :-p
I still think it looks like it could be a time machine in disguise.... The TARDIS in a new form perhaps?
Oh, and apparently, the new code words for something a non-therapeutic massage are "lymphatic drainage" and "full body massage."
I had a guy with a "private number" call my cell phone shortly after 8 am the other day & after a meandering conversation, he goes: "Do you do full body massage?" Me: "Well yes, I do do full body work, avoiding the 'danger zones' where it's not safe to do therapeutic massage work."
He beats around the bush more, asks about "lymphatic drainage" and then says, "Well, I'm looking for a more liberating massage experience."
My flat out answer: "That's not me, that's not what I do. I only offer therapeutic massage, not anything else."
This was close to a 10 minute conversation for him to finally admit that he was a scumbag trying to find someone for a "happy ending" massage.
After I got off the phone with him and woke up a bit more, I was like, "Damn it, you idiot! If you're looking for that, then go look under Erotic Services on Craigslist and leave us real MTs alone!" :-p
However, I had some fun suggestions to this when I posted this to customers_suck - I was particularly amused at the references to plastering political posters all over the massage room & play speeches from Obama, or even worse - the French Canadian PM (I think that's what it was...) debates. *laugh*
