lol, so my wife just had a guy tell her an awesome story while she was waiting for her food at the to go area of a restaurant in Boston(she is there for work).

Once he found out she was from Dallas the name dropping and stories began. First off he is good friends with George Bush, and knows Rick Perry. Owns a "consulting" company and is based on Boston. He is having dinner with the chief of police tomorrow night. He also does some work for the Pentagon. His father was the captain of the USS Bermuda and now works at the Pentagon(unless I am missing something this was a steamer from 1861 and with this guy being in his late 40's or early 50's.....maybe he is a Highlander?). He also was recently in Dallas working with Ferrari to try to begin operations in the US importing their carbon fiber(wtf?)

lol, the USS Bermuda?

Is your wife a hot blond & was she wearing her wedding ring?

Yes on the first, hopefully on the second. And probably 15-20 years younger than him.

Well, there ya go. Did she turn into a warm bucket of cream like he had hoped or just say "Oh really, how nice to hear" then grab her food & go?

She has been around me long enough to know BS when she hears it in most cases. You start dropping ex presidents, governors, and high end sports, cars, and military/pentagon associations it's not all that hard.
