It's all in how you say it.

While we were sitting at Dunkin Donuts in Montville, Ct. getting ready to go on the ride to Bidwells last Sunday, it was mentioned that Linda Schwarz is looking to get her own bike. Now Linda hasn't been associated with "lingo" all that long and some of her statements do lead to a little confusion.

 Dave Adams, Jerry M., myself and Linda were sitting at a table and she said that, "If she gets her own bike, jerry said he'll ride on the back with her. At which point Jerry's face changed to the "What?" expression. Jerry told her he never said he would do that. At which point she said "Yes you did, and so did Mark".  Now it was my turn to have the puzzled look on my face, but I added a hint of denial with the eyebrows. She looked at me and said,"Both you and Jerry said you'd ride on the back of the rides. 

    Ah-ha!!!  Yes we told her, we would ride in the back of the formation with her til she felt comfortable riding in a group. We thought she was saying we would ride bitch with her and that is a distinct No No No.

     She laughed at the mis-understanding, realizing it was how she had said it, she then added that she didn't think she would feel comfortable riding in the "pile".

At this point Dave Adams told her, "It's only a pile if someone "F---s up.
