[General] Hey, Lori!

So I was standing in a parking lot in Waldorf, MD this morning, brushing my hair. I was getting ready to go into a hair salon for a business meeting and I didn't want my hair to feature gloppy remnants of this morning's gel. Hey, I'm a classy girl.

So, I'm standing there, next to the open door of my truck, brushing my hair and I hear, "Hey, Lori!"

I whip around. Scan the lot. See no one I know. Thinking that maybe someone was calling for *another* Lori, I resume my brushing. Then I hear, "Is that your real name, Lori?" I looked around again to see a small group of men walking toward my car. Still confused, I looked away again.

As they passed the truck the lead one slowed down and looked right at me.

"So, Lori...How can I get my name on my license plates?"

My license plates. My plates have my name on them. Now it all makes sense.

"Ummm...pay the MVA $50?"

"That's all? That's not bad. That's not bad at all. Thanks, Lori."

Ummm...you're welcome, oddly friendly strange man.

At that point, he went into a restaurant with his friends, I went to my appointment and then we were all run over by a large centipede.
