Come back when you can

As I passed a guy on the street he said, "Hey there, Supermodel."
I thought he was talking to me until I heard a voice behind me say, "Thanks."
I looked over my shoulder to scope my compliment competition and saw a middle aged black woman with purple streaks in her graying hair. Her plussed grin revealed a few missing teeth and she was wearing black and white checkered tights.

Half a block later a guy said, "Hey, how are you."
I said, "I'm fine, thanks."
And he said, "You just made my day."

The world makes sense again.
