Pickup Lines As Slick As A Whistle

(In my spare time I help organize mini-book tours for local authors. I was recently at an event at a very upscale, privately owned bookstore in a village shopping center. This place usually has many patrons who are older, retired, etc. who attend the events. After the authors finish their Q&A panel and book signings, I’m taking some supplies back to my car when I see a 75-ish-year-old woman who had attended the event waiting outside of the bookstore.)

Woman: *whistles*

Me: *stopping* “Huh?”

Woman: “Oh, don’t worry, I’m not whistling at you, sweetie! I’m letting my husband know where I am so he can find me.”

Me: “No problem! Have a nice day!” *I start walking again, and just when I get past her*

Woman: “Not that you aren’t something to whistle at, though!”

Me: “Thank you…?”

(I never did see if her husband showed up.)
