MFF2008: Those aren't my scooters

The Charm City Scooter Rally descended on Club Charles last night, which meant tons of shiny scooters were parked outside.

Atomic Books owner Benn Ray happened to be standing near them when a cluster of old ladies walked up and asked: 

"Are these your scooters?"

Ray doesn't own a scooter, so he said, "No."

But either the women didn't hear him or chose to ignore him, because they kept asking him questions about the scooters. So he started making stuff up.

"I was talking to old ladies about scooters, and I don't know anything about scooters," he said. "I'm hoping they were all Vespas because that's what I told them."
