Ask me about my STD

I spent my lunch hour at the grocery store today. I finally got around to planning my Thanksgiving Day menu and, more importantly, I finally got around to shopping.

There was a woman who stalked me through the produce section. She had on a t-shirt that said, "Ask me about my STD". Now, at first I laughed because I thought it was kind of funny. Then, I started to wonder if maybe she was wearing it in an effort to start dialogue about her specific STD. Did she have HIV and think that by wearing the t-shirt she could engage strangers in round table discussions about the importance of safe sex? Was she wearing the tee in place of a scarlet letter? In an effort to repel the majority of the population?

I asked her (have I mentioned my complete lack of social filter?). She said it was her daughter's tee and that she just thought it was funny; which it kind of is. If you can get over the STD part. Then she gave me her number and told me to call her. I am now left wondering if a (possibly disease ridden) woman wants me.
