Prizes from Vegas Trip

Last week I was in Las Vegas to help out at Wells Fargo's booth at the International Builders' Show.

In honor of my trip, I'd like to present some awards to my...'er favorite comments and sights.

AWARD: MOST COCKY COMMENT
At the booth:
Me: "Do you want to play a quick game to win $20?"
Our cocky winner: "I'm independently wealthy."
And he walked away.
(Matt says he's going to start using that line. Right now.)

AWARD: MOST RIDICULOUS SIGHT
My reflection in the mirrors as I hurried (sometimes ran) through the casino while plugging my nose.
(Usually I try to be a little dignified, but for some reason I didn't care this time.)

AWARD: WORST CONVERSATION STARTER EVER
Guy twice my age at a big party hosted by Wells Fargo:
"So, did you leave the husband home?...
How does he trust you not to get in trouble in Vegas?"

(Puke. Puke. Puke.)

AWARD: GETTING COMMENTS LIKE THESE ARE "SO OLD"
Someone visiting the booth:
"You look young. Are you old enough to work for Wells Fargo?"

When he found out my age, a co-worker at a dinner party:
"You're only 23!!! I could be your dad…or your grandpa."

AWARD: CELEBRITY LOOK-A-LIKE COMMENT
"Has anyone ever told you that you look like a young Olivia Newton John?"
(I only get that when I have short hair.)

AWARD: FAVORITE COMMENT
Hott guy:
"I love you."
(Okay that was all Matt, but he deserves a prize, too.)
