PARK BENCH

I left work earlier than usual today. I thought I'd take a walk on a nearby
park. No sense in driving there, so I walked.

When I reached the park I didn't feel like walking anymore. Perhaps I'm not
quite the wanderer I thought I was.  Maybe work has drained too much of my
energy. Either way, I sat on a bench and watched people going by.

A very beatiful lady sits right next to me. She smells like the prettiest girl
I've ever seen. I decide to tell her:

- Hello, lady. What time is it?

- Sex o'clock -- she answers with a flirting smile.

- You read my mind.

- What? -- she replies.

- Nevermind. Don't you find it weird that the sun is still up there in the sky
  while it's already so late in the afternoon?

- I do. That's daylight savings for you... Now I have to wait a whole extra hour
  for the sunset. Not that I'm complaining.

- Not that you are... There is at least one good thing about the sun being so
  high in the sky right now, though. -- I said in the most enigmatic way I
  could.

- What is that?

- Well, were it a little dimmer I might have missed how pretty you really is.

- Oh! Thank you, sir. -- she blushed while smiling the cutest, but slightly
  nervous, smile.

- Funny thing, huh?

- What?

- Beauty -- so vain, yet so important.

- In a dark room everyone is pretty. -- she observes.

I had nothing to add, so I looked down. I saw the backpack she was carrying. I
hadn't noticed it before. The backpack was sitting by her on the bench. There was
a Debian sticker on it. Something to talk about.

- Debian, huh? -- I said while pointing to the sticker.

- Oh! Yeah! -- she looked a bit surprised -- I don't know much about computers,
  but I want freedom!

- Awesome! What version do you run?

- I'm running Debian sid. Helping with the development, I guess.

- Cool, I have done some work for Debian. Packaging, you know?

- That's awesome! I'd like to learn that.

- I can teach you, if you'd like. Have you seen that tutorial on Debian women
  site?

- Oh. Yeah, that... It doesn't open very well on Opera.

- You use Opera?!

That was a show stopper.
