A rare bird

The month of May is sponsored by the peacock!

It all started on the day we celebrate our ability to steal another country's holiday and use it as an excuse to get drunk, Cinco De' Mayo. I went out to lunch with some co-workers and one of them just happened to have sombreros in his trunk for everyone to wear. (don't ask)  As I stood in line to order, 2 nice looking guys asked me about my hat.  Then, at the drink station, another gentleman wanted to know why I had taken my sombrero off. (as if that needs an answer) As I carried my tray outside, a table of suitable bachelors offered my friend and I seats at their table. ...Stop right there, who gets hit on that many times?  Certainly not me.  

I realized that these guys may or may not have all been interested in me, but because they had the sombrero as an "opener" they took their chances and struck up a conversation.

Naturally, after figuring this out, and deciding I was the smartest social scientist in the world, I thought I had discovered the key to drawing the opposite sex in.  After further investigation, I found that this tactic, known as "peacocking" has been used for years.  All you need to do is carry or wear some ridiculous prop around everywhere you go and people will hit on you...so simple!   

Peacocking was even featured in a training video:

I do hope this has all been very helpful for you. Do know that if you 

decide to practice "peacocking" you won't be alone. Just this 

weekend, Miss Morgan was hit on by a very nice man wearing a 

lavender "life is good" moo moo and cowboy hat during the Lakers 

game.

*It just so happens his last name was also Peacock so I can neither 

confirm nor deny that he was actually "peacocking" or if it was just a 

freak coincidence.

Good luck out there!
