We all know I'm a bit wary of Marines these days. Today, however, was a day of running into extremely pleasant and helpful people. One of these was a Marine at Panda Express.
"Are you in line."
"No, we haven't decided, go ahead."
"Well, I can't now...You two really should order."
"But we really don't know what we want. Please, go ahead and order."
"No, really, I can't."
"I demand you go in front of us."
Plucking at his Marine uniform, "Um, you forgot to wear your uniform today. I don't have to take orders from you." A cute smile followed.
A few minutes later, he was standing at the counter with me.
"So you like choppers?"
Huh? Then I remembered I was wearing my new Helping Hands purchase, a North Shore Choppers t-shirt.
"Well, this is from a second hand store, but yes, I do like choppers."
"My office at home is covered in pictures of choppers and bikes."
You renewed my confidence in the goodness of people, especially Marines.
Thank you, Marine.
