I was walking in the hills when I ran into the mailman. He and I are friendly. We wave hello when we see each other.
You'll never believe what just happened to me, he said.
What.
I was walking away from a house when I heard a voice say excuse me. I turned around to see who it was. There was a young woman standing at the front door in her underwear. Can you help me with this, she said. Her coffee maker was stuck. It had a twisty thing. Sure I said. I thought this was a gift from god.
That's every delivery man's dream I said.
Yeah, I know.
So what did you do?
Nothing, I twisted the thing off the coffee maker and handed it back to her.
You crazy fool! You'll be thinking of her for the rest of your life I said jokingly.
I know he said as he walked away in a fog.
I saw the mailman again a few weeks later.
Whatever happened to the lady who came outside in her underwear, I asked.
What lady? He paused, oh, her. She moved out! About a week later she was gone.
