The truth hurts

Jess
You found your aviator glasses!
Chris
Yeah, it turns out they were in Brendan’s Esky all along.
Jess
Lauren has some cool aviators now, did I tell you? She didn’t think they suited her, but when we were at The Cott this guy came up to us and said “Hey, I really like your glasses!”
Chris
Better than “I really like your tits.”
Jess
Yeah. So anyway, this guy keep trying to chat her up and eventually runs out of material, so we get a good thirty seconds of awkwardness before he pulls out the lamest pickup line ever: “do you girls come here often?” I’m like “no, no we don’t” and he just kind of gave up.
Chris
Well that’s just mean. I run out of clever things to say after the first thirty seconds too.
Jess
How about “what do you do?” Anything would’ve been better than “do you come here often?”
Chris
I never really liked that one.
Jess
That’s because when you’re hitting on twenty-eight year old professional types and they ask you what you do you’re ashamed to say “student”.
Chris
Harsh!
Jess
It’s OK, honey. I’m not ashamed of you.
Chris
Very reassuring.
Jess
It’s what I do.
