Coming out of Lowes last week, about to get in the sling, woman walks up behind me and gushes: "What is that!? I love the sparkly red color - its my favorite!!"
I told her: I love red too - I'm sure this would look great on you... want to try it on?"
She blushed, said no and hurried to her old minivan.
Last week I had astronomy students out to the observatory on the ranch for lab night - they all ogled the Slingshot, several took turns getting in and having friends take photos. One of the young men in my class came up to me...
"Doc, you have kids don't you?"
"Yeah, three boys, why?"
"Do you like them... or do they piss you off sometimes."
I wondered where this was going, but I played along... "Well, none of my sons like astronomy... so their all out of the will."
The kid smiled: "Good. Now that that's settled, would you adopt me so I can have your slingshot when you die?"
