On another trip to Austin (which included a Happy Hour at Archery Country) including a pig hunting expedition with Wildman to Granger (if you've never hunted with D, you have not experienced life at it's best), I was on my way back to the airport and met a great guy named Pedro from Hill Country Bowhunters and his wife and young child for lunch in downtown Austin.
I wanted to do a run-in, run-out purchase for a new visor. Every store I went into did not have them, and the college-age employees were all either hung over or stoned (or both) with ear-rings, nose-rings, etc. After 4 stores, I was getting frustrated and a bad attitude on.
Then I went into THE UT store. T shirts. Mugs. Rocking chairs. Blankets. You name it. Plus a whole wall of caps and visors, behind a counter. Up walks a guy with a goatee and ear rings. People all over the place buying UT souvenirs and trinkets. You have the scene. And I have a bad attitude at this point.
"I want to get a visor for my daughter"
"Wadda yall want?"
"A nice visor for my daughter"
"Yeah" No real help as he just stood there (this is where it happened).
In a loud voice, I call out to this guy
"Have y'all got any A&M sun visors here? I want to get a souvenir of Texas for my daughter in California"
All the heads in the store seemed to turn in my direction
"No, we don't sell A&M stuff here"
"That's too bad. OK, than I'll have to take one of the orange ones with the cow horns on it"
I got the visor. Wildman later told me I was lucky to get out in 1 piece!
Maybe it was funnier in person than typing it. When I told that story to a Chinese engineer out here when I found out he was an A&M EE grad, he just smiled and shook my hand.
