Things that make me go hmmm ... I had to contact Mr. Wonderful Surgeon today because I'm working with a committee to start a huge program that I am the main driver for ... Mr. WS might be of help, but isn't necessary. He's competent but not indispensable, definitely not essential. I happen to know that he's wanted something like I can offer him for some time.

He returned my message via text, asked who this is (after saying in the grocery store that he still has my cell), and when informed, sent me two texts of cherries. TWO cherry emojis.

I'm thinking we'll be looking elsewhere for the equivalent of his skillz. They were never so mad, after all. Sometimes karma can be a real bitch, you know?

I am hoping that the gentlemen of Teh Cellar will respond with their takes on what TWO cherry emojis might mean. Just in case I have misinterpreted.

I don't even know WTF a cherry emoji is. Sorry. Clueless over here.

All of this indicates that he is not up to speed on wireless technology.

Maybe? I have nfc, either.

I'm also clueless, although I found this by accident today.

It means you didn't hit the jackpot with him (3 cherries on a slot machine) and it will cost you more to continue to play.

That's the one, grav. It's in with the fruits in the emoji categories. I was embarrassed, thinking I was sadly out of touch, and then I googled it and some people think it means bisexuality and others think it just generally refers to sex.

No jackpot for him.

Who responds to a business message in that way? I bet this guy is just a sweetheart on Tinder.

No Cherries were harmed in this bizarre episode.
Except my eyeballs, seeing that.

OMG he's bisexual??

Oh I misinterpreted this sentence the first time.

~ or did i ~

Thank you, sweet Bruce. :)

Haha he'd have a heart attack at being thought to be bisexual, but a couple years ago he was looking for a woman who'd be happy to take part in a threesome. I had the impression it was a bucket list thing. I wasn't interested.

What I have to offer him now is a strictly professional (medically speaking) opportunity he's wanted.

It makes me feel better that the cherry emoji thing really is meaningless, as in: he's clueless, not me.

I'm still clueless. Someone please explain WTF happened in like really REALLY basic English.

She's been assigned to hand out sandwiches.
He wants a particular one of them really badly.
He offered her sex if she gives him the sandwich he wants.
He's a silly rabbit, no tricks for him. :headshake

Either that or he couldn't use his phone and managed to type something vague and google-able while trying to text "OK".

That's a possibility, UT - a twice-sent typo. But I did ask for clarification, and have received nothing further.
