Thursday's Thoughts




I am so un-sportsy.  This can be a little out of sync with the rest of the people in Southern Utah but I've lived with it this long. Here's a funny thing that happened to me last week.

Last Saturday I was at the grocery store and outside they had bratwurst and a soda for $2.00. Thinking this was a cheap lunch I stopped to get a couple on my way home.

 A gentleman also getting bratwursts said, "You can only have one if you tell us what color you bleed." 

Thinking this was a weird question, I snarkily answered "Purple." 

"Oh," he said, "unwilling to commit, smart choice." 

It was only after I noticed the BYU t-shirt on the lady serving me and listened to the conversation  between the gentleman and the server that it dawned on me that he was asking which team I supported, BYU or U of U as that was the day of their big game. 

I let them think I had just said, "Purple" as it is the mix of red and blue.
