Festivus cheer rebuff
My office is downtown and very close to a big bus terminal, so we get a lot of interesting folks wandering in from time to time.
Just now, a pretty rough looking guy walked in and said he was looking for the social services building. It's pretty friggin cold out, so I told him to have a seat and warm up and I would look up the address and write it down for him.
When I went to hand him the address I also offered up the bowl of chocolate almonds that were on my desk, out of habit. He looked very affronted and said "I can't eat those, I don't have enough teeth!". Then he showed me, just to make sure I believed him.
I think he felt bad because of the apologetic look on my face, so he grabbed a handful and said "Don't worry, I can just suck on 'em!"
He made a move like he was going to leave, but then he turned around and pointed at me and said "You'll get yours!", then walked out.

Some good hypothesizing going on here. I'm wondering if it was the elfstergate chihuahua in disguise. If it was,I hope I passed his test. I couldn't really tell.
I think this has settled my holiday greetings though. From now on instead of juggling "Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, etc" I'm just going to say "You'll get yours!" to everyone.
