One of my favorite movie's of all-time? Grease..John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, the soundtrack, Grease Lightning..When I was a teen my first car was nicknamed...Grease Lightning:) Anyways, their is a girl who comes into 7-11 that is a dead ringer for Olivia Newton-John, and to top it all off, her name is Sandra..Oh, one more thing, she's originally from Austria. I know Olivia Newton-John is from Australia, not Austria. But to me? It's all the same. I've gotten to know her a little, so the other day when she came through the store? I had to let her know for the 20th time, that she was a dead-ringer for Olivia Newton-John. Well, she makes her way through the line, we exchange pleasantries, and I tell her this:
"You know, I watched Grease again, for the 100th time, did I ever tell you that you could have been a stunt double for Olivia Newton John?" I've hit on this girl about a 100x, and been rebuffed every single one. It's my persistence that keeps me going. So, I figured it was worth another shot. Again, you never know if you don't ask...Even Multiple times.."You know what? One of these days we should rent Grease, and a couple other Travolta/Newton-John movies, make a marathon out of it. What do ya say?" After I made the suggestion? Let's put it this way..I was about 98.5% sure that she was going to say no, but theirs always that 1.5%..Anyways, she looks at me and says:
"Every time I come in here, you tell me that I look like Olivia Newton-John..Thank-you, the comparison is very flattering..And your so persistent. How many times have I told you no? And you still keep asking." For a minute, I was starting to believe that I had worn her down. Maybe she would finally agree to go out with me? To my chagrin:( she added this to her conversation.."I'm busy, really busy. Your a very handsome and polite man, but your not the one for me..Can I have my change now?"
After she left, I started thinking about something a friend of mine in Vegas told me. "Dude you've got to get a fucking grip on how things work in this town. Your wanting a 10 girlfriend:), without a fucking dime to your name. You need to go back to the farm! Jethro.."
