Apparently, "DA" isn't just for dual action

Just had to relay this funny story to the folks out there...

Stopped for gas on the way home from work this afternoon, and a guy followed me out of the convenience store. We ended up having a quick detailing related conversation that went like this:

Him: "Now that's how a BMW should look!"

Me: "Thanks man I really appreciate that"

"Yeah it looks really nice - I do detailing at xxxxxxx down the street"

"Oh that's great, what kind of stuff do you use?"

"I use a lot of Mother's" (points scored for him)...."and Turtle Wax" (even on points now)

"Great, do you have a DA"?

now, wait for it.....

His response: "Yeah but I've been sober for about five years now"

It took me a moment, which is a good thing...I had to stifle a little chuckle when I realized what he meant...

"That's great, congrats - have a good one!"


Just couldn't resist posting this - careful how you use "DA" out there!

:eek:
 
Now, that's quick thinking. I'm not sure what my response would have been. That is funny though.
 
Haha, well that's interesting!

To me DA means "Decision Altitude," the minimum altitude you can fly an airplane down to on an instrument approach (ILS).

Every time I hear LSP I think of "Lumpy Space Princess" from the cartoon Adventure Time.

HA! What's your favorite Lumpy Space Princess?

As a budding glider pilot (about halfway there) "Decision Altitude" makes sense too!
 
I always remembeer my flight instructior saying; "Don't run out of altitude and ideas at the same time"!

That DA thing is funny.
 
Good "DA" story rms64...:xyxthumbs:

When I was a young lad..."DA" stood for:
The type of hairdo greasers and "personalities",
like Elvis and Marlon Brando, proudly wore.

All of us: 'wannabe-hoods'...tried to emulate our Heroes.

Bob....as long as you're not running out of hair you may be able to still pull that off.

A side note....always enjoy your "out there" posts! :xyxthumbs::xyxthumbs::xyxthumbs:
 
I remember those days FUNX725 although the hair style called a DA stood for "ducks ass" which it does resemble if you think about it. Sorry if I offended anyone.

I just got through asking: "The Good Wife" about this...
and she said that's what hair-extensions could be used for!!

Bob, Ya beat me to it about 'the hair'. I sure would have like to have had the market for 'pomade' back then.

It's true that DA has different meaning. Da is something I call the in laws when they do something stupid. For example, touch a live wire with a screw driver without flipping a breaker ......response........you Dumb A$$!
