Overhead yesterday near Gallery Place:
Corner guy (to passing woman): Damn, you look gorgeous.Later, I saw the Nation of Islam dude again, and the woman clearly was his girl—I conclude he was feigning otherwise in hopes that the corner guy might learn the larger lesson. Posted by Kriston at August 17, 2007 1:00 PM
Nation of Islam: I don't think you need to be saying something like that to her.
Corner guy: Sorry, I didn't know that was your girl. It was just a compliment.
Nation of Islam guy: She's not my girl. In my faith, the best compliments are kept in the heart.
Corner guy: I'm not Muslim.
Nation of Islam guy: I know this. But compliments shouldn't creep people out.
that is amazing.

And he might have meant "she's not my girl" in a larger sense, too, you sexist.
