So there I was, walking down the road reading my Bible when... ok, I wasn't walking down the road. And I wasn't reading the Bible. I was putting up a new pair of pants at the store (the Phoenix Pants), and... a new female avatar comes up to me:

[13:36] Anonymous: you speak italian??
[13:37] You: no, sorry I do not. :-(

So then, I think to tell her I can understand some Italian - more than the spicy Italian sausages that have been on my mind - but before I could add that, she told me what was on her mind:

[13:38] Anonymous: ok... can you say me where is possible buy a free dildo... i don't have money..
[13:38] You: hmm. Well, the freebie area may have some. It is in the center of the island.
[13:38] Anonymous: in this island??
[13:39] You: yes, just use your mini map and fly to the group of people in the center.
[13:39] Anonymous: ok.. thanks...
[13:39] You: yes - you can't miss the building. It is the largest on the island
[13:40] Anonymous: ok... kiss.. thanks..
[13:41] You: no problem :-) Have fun

This was new for me. A large male avatar is not who I would think would know where a free dildo would be. In fact, I don't know where there are free dildos. I've never needed one. Maybe it was the cool pants I was wearing that encouraged her to ask me. I could see the tag line for an advertising agency, "Pants so hot women ask you where dildos are."

But then, that's sort of an insult too. "I don't like you at all, find you completely unattractive. I'd rather ask you for a dildo that I can get for free, because it would have to be better than you."

And then there's the reality. She's probably tired of looking and would have asked anyone, strengthened by her anonymity. Or maybe it was a guy in RL having some fun that he lacks in real life. For all I know, it could be Philip Rosedale himself demonstrating how strange Second Life can be.

Seriously, after one year... first time I was asked that question. And I'm still cracking up.
