guns and cable

we ordered cable for the first time. neither eman or i grew up with cable, so this'll be the first time we have it at home. i hope i don't become a tv junkie. =\ anyway...the cable guy came over and he was looking for the cable hookup inside our apt. he said it's usually located inside closets in older apts [closets? for real?] so i took him to our hallway closet and proceeded to pull everything out so that he could go in to locate the hookup thingy. well i pulled out a large basket filled with miscellaneous things, and right on top was my lara croft gun. now, trust me when i say that the gun looks real. and since i had forgotten where i placed it, i happily exclaimed, "oh, i've been looking for that!" and glanced up with a smile at the cable guy. i was confused to see the strange look on his face...eyes open wide and mouth slightly agape. he was staring at the gun. it took me a second, but i realized he was probably startled and maybe even creeped out. i swallowed a chuckle and immediately tried to reassure him, "oh no...don't worry...that's not a real gun. it doesn't take real bullets" and smiled at him. he sorta looked at me with that weird, scared expression and nervously muttered, "uh-huh."

i know this is messed up, but i like scaring people sometimes. it's fun. =)
