The 3

So, several years ago, I was at Tattoo Lou's, skimming through some portfolios, waiting for the manager to come back out and finalize the plans for my [still unfinished] masterpiece. While I'm waiting, 3 different girls come in, all separately, but when the guy behind the counter asks each of them if he can help them with anything, all 3 of them answer the same thing:

Butterflies.

One wants them on her ankle, another just had one done on her back, the other one was thinking about getting one but isn't sure yet. After the last one leaves — and before another one gets a chance to come in and make the same request — I go over to one of the artists, trying to keep a straight face, and ask about how many girls come in here asking for butterflies? What's the percentage, roughly? He shakes his head and says "Honestly, about one out of every three."

I must have caught them on a good night.

*On a completely unrelated note, on the way home, 3 different radio stations were playing 3 different Fallout Boy songs all at the same time. Conspiracy? You be the judge!
