People who seem 10 minutes behind

Dylan_James · 2006-09-20 14:04:47

I have a mate that seems to be 10 minutes behind the rest of the world. best way to describe this is to imagine 3 people sitting in a room: Person A: "Did you see there was a coup in Thailand?" Person B: "Yeah they did it while the Prime Minister was at the UN." A: "Theres a coup in that country like every 5 or 10 years…

I remember drinking in a hotel bar once... and we all ordered Southren Comforts and I'd never really drank it before so we talked about it for a bit. Then the converstion somehow turned to the topic of 'felching' and I explained in detail what felching involved... then about 10 minutes later an American at the next table buts in and says 'I can't help but notice that you were talking about Southern Comfort'

Work with a guy like that, you say Hello to him & you're half way down the corridor before he can it together enough to say Hello back (think Ozzy Osbourne eh..eh..eh..:D )
Funny thing is, he's the best sales guy we have, he could sell ice to the Eskimos I reckon!!

B was the Prime minister.

Some people are ten minutes behind. When you say their name and they say 'what?' ten minutes later, coming out of their daze.

Yes, somebody I know asked what all of this had to do with chickens. I said the situation escalated due to conditions of chickens in the home. Sadly, he bought that.

When it comes to a lot of things I don't know but I know that I don't know so does that make me smarter than someone who doesnt know that they don't know?

I appear to be a week behind!

I'm as dozy as they come.
But what really irritates me is when you ask a question & the person you're taking to goes, "What?" & then answers the question anyway.
You either heard or you didn't. Don't make me start to repeat myself only to cut me off with your answer!

The only time where I wouldn't be "with it" is when I'm extremely tired. Apparently I talk gibberish. It's like being drunk for 10 minutes every morning!
