a convo turn that none follow...

Back at home in Arizona, where people aren't as used to the randomness...
>I was out to dinner with 5 friends from high school on Monday, and we were enjoying some pleasant conversation about sights to see in Arizona.
>My friend Zhinus commented something like "the city of Gerome is really weird. I was in this store there and they had all these doll heads everywhere..."
>at that point I piped in
>"that's like where I worked this year!"
>all eyes turned to Marla for further explanation
>"yeah, in my lab we were building these dolls I mean these dummies and we had to use real ones and stuff... you know, we had to cut off their heads and arms and stuff…and….it was really weird. looking.”
>still, high school friends did not quite seem to follow. The comment apparently didn’t really fit and wasn’t one that could be cavalierly added to a conversation. (remember, I am prone to add things that I don’t mean for anyone to pay attention to) So I casually changed the subject back to Zhinus’s store…
>Lesson learned: some things shouldn’t be explained or for that matter even used as commentary.
