"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

I wouldn't worry too much on the content of your stories as long as they are interesting and funny. Just make sure you aren't boring them and you're golden! :up:

What about humorous commentary about what's happening in the news or just general observations. I had a woman in stitches about Brussels sprouts just last night. Use your imagination, there's tons of things all around that can be interesting and humorous.
