I remember the old days of my long lost youth when I'd walk past a
building site and they'd whistle.
And then it kind of stopped.
Until yesterday when I walked past a building site and one said (yes,
said) "Boom chicka wah wah" at me.
It's moments like those when you want to think of a witty reply and
nothing comes and you just look at them and blink and keep walking and
wonder whether it's okay to feel strangely flattered by the attentions
of someone who obviously watches too much, um, TV.

Hey, you rock! You know, you never mentioned if said construction worker was a man or woman, but it is not uncommon for those of us of the brutish sex to engage in such glossolalia when confronted with unimaginable beauty. It's just a form of praise and adoration. Okay, I've never done such a base and tacky thing - though I've thought it - but if your pulchritude matches the verve and wit of your writing, and you walked past my earthmover, I'd probably roll my eyes back in my head, raise my hands to the sky, and let myself speak with the tongues of angels. 'Boom chicka wah wah,' indeed!
Of course I am SURE you walked away with a smile and that little voice in your head saying, ALL RIGHT,...Thank You God,...I still got it!" :)
Besides no pain no foul, you made someone's day. And what nicer thing could we do for a stranger in particular than bring a little sunshine to thier day?
Hahahahhahahahaha!!!
Wait... based on the tv advert, aren't you supposed to "boomchickawahwah" them??
ROFL!! Boom chicka wow wow is a new one :)
When I was a teenager, one of my closest friends and I--sick of always being hollared at whenever we went by a particular construction site--pulled up to it in our car and started screaming things like, "oh baby, check out the ass on THAT ONE! Oh mama! Gotta have me some o' that ohhh ahhh!" It was worth it just to see the complete and utter surprise on their faces.
Then we drove off quickly and found another route to and from school...haha!
