A man was standing at a urinal in a public restroom when he suddenly noticed a very short man staring at him from a few steps away.
At first, he tried to ignore it, but the little man kept looking with wide eyes.
Finally, the little man said, “Wow.”
The man glanced over, confused. “Excuse me?”
The little man nodded admiringly and said, “I’m sorry, but I have to say it. Those are the nicest balls I have ever seen.”
The man was completely caught off guard. He didn’t know whether to be embarrassed, offended, or flattered.
“Well,” he said awkwardly, “uh… thank you, I guess.”
He tried to continue as if nothing had happened, but the little man wasn’t finished.
A moment later, he dragged a small step ladder beside the urinal, climbed up, and said, “Listen, I know this is a very strange request, but they’re so impressive… would you mind if I took a closer look?”
The man stared at him in disbelief.
“That is strange,” he said.
“I know,” the little man replied. “But I promise, just a quick look.”
The man hesitated. It was the weirdest situation he had ever been in, but he figured there probably wasn’t any real harm in it.
“Fine,” he muttered. “Just be quick.”
The little man leaned in, reached out, and suddenly grabbed him firmly.
The man froze.
Then the little man looked him dead in the eye and said:
“OK, hand me your wallet, or I’ll jump off the ladder.”
