"Go pick a guy off a construction site"

This is direct quote from my lovely brother. One of my brother's finer qualities is his ability to come up with some pretty good one liners - many of them not appropriate for this site, so I will spare you all.

Anyway, this quote came during a conversation about one of my relationships - it was in this conversation that he not only informed me I needed to quit dating divorced men, but that I should "go pick a guy off a construction site or something". Seriously? I had no idea he paid attention to my dating life in such detail.

So yesterday I was carrying in a wedding gift for a co-worker getting married on Saturday. The area around my office is under massive construction - and will be for quite some time, so grimy little construction workers are crawling around everywhere. The construction has now moved into an area where I literally have to walk right through it to get to my office. I have befriended a few of the workers, and yesterday this was the conversation that occurred with one of them:

Worker - Is that for me?
Nicole - Only if you want to get married.
Worker - Let me call home and ask my wife.

Meanwhile in the background, there is this other dude jumping around waving his hand saying I'll get married...

Maybe I should look around and "pick a guy off a construction site"?? Or maybe it is totally pathetic that I am even considering this? Either way, I smile when I think about both scenarios....

Consider it and do it, not only will this test your cahoonas, it will also allow you to step out of your comfort zone and you never know what that will do!
