Random Act of Findness

Just as inspiration flees, along comes a meme. Via Dewayne, these are the instructions:

1. Dive into your archive.
2. Find your 23rd post.
3. And the fifth sentence therein.
4. Post that sentence and these instructions.
5. Recruit five other victims. [I'm flagrantly disobeying this instruction. I don't do chain letters, and I don't do direct email meming. Anyone who wants to pick up the torch for free from here, have at it.]

I hope this meme has an international commission, because I need a ruling. The first line of my 23rd post, stardate 01.19.01 ...

"I guess he's a Lakers fan," the cop said amiably to me.

If not, it's the much less interesting ...

"Yeah, that's surprising," I said.

You make the call. Either way you go, the second-or-first sentence is way better:

I wound up chatting with a cop in the men's restroom.

The whole entry, in fact, is better than anything I've posted in months. Ah, my lost blogging youth.
