A Story

I was waiting for the elevator in the lobby of my office building with an older man who initiated a conversation with me. What follows is that conversation.

Man: This is the best building. The best!

Me: [Polite nod]

Man: Best massage parlors in the city in this building.

Me: Right inside the building?

Him: Yes! They had trouble renting it once. They basically turned it into a whorehouse.

Me: [Uncomfortable nod}

[We enter the elevator silently]

[I avoid eye contact the entire ride]

[Silence]

[Door opens at his floor]

Man: Enjoy your day. [Pause] I’m going to enjoy mine!

The end.
