And when I say bring something unusual, I don’t mean a dildo, your placenta (”yours” as in the one that you were encased in as a fetus) or a monkey’s skull. Bring something that is unusual enough to start a five minute conversation that doesn’t lead to a restraining order. However, if the aforementioned items are what you would consider weird but interesting, good on ya — but I’d really urge you to reconsider.
I once brought those “Le Regime Bush” playing cards on a date after I got them in the mail (it’s one of those things twenty years from now when he’s in his 7th term that we’ll all have a good laugh about). They worked out well. So something like that.
