25th
Ran into this guy at a crosswalk in DC. Here is our exact conversation:
Nick: Is that one of those new jet packs?
Jet Pack Pilot: This? (smirks) Yeah.
Nick: Nice, my cousin has one. Does that have the turbo on it?
JPP: Yup.
(30 seconds of silence. roughly.)
Nick: Ebay?
JPP: Huh?
Nick: Just wondering if you got your Jet Pack on Ebay?
JPP: Um. Yeah.
Nick: We sold my cousin’s on Ebay. Rest in peace (shakes head)…. He went too high. We found him floating in Salt Lake. He took off in Cuba. Malfunction, I guess.
JPP: I’m sorry.
Nick: Me too. Me too. (pause) You probably didn’t get his.
(Walk Signal)
We both walked accross the street. Then, went in different directions. From 20 feet away:
Nick: (Yelling) Live Strong! (Whispering) Braclet!
