The Last Thing I Expected Today

So I went to a paint store with a friend today. We were looking for red paint, just plain red paint. When we walked in there were cameras and lights everywhere. We hesitated, thinking that maybe they were doing something special and weren't open but they told us to come in so we did. While we were looking around this lady approached us and, well, here's how the conversation went.

'Do you want to be on TV?'
'Excuse me?'
'We are making a TV advertisement. We want you to be in it and be our customers'
'...What?'
'We are making a special Ramadan commercial. We think you would be very good actors'
'But we are not dressed nicely, we are not looking pretty.'
'Oh, that is no problem. Of course, you are looking beautiful.'
(we had just spent 2 hours at the steamy outdoor market)
'What do we have to do?'
'Walk in like you are just arriving, look at the samples and pick one, take it to the man and he will mix it, then you will walk out smiling and satisfied with your paint.'
'Oh, well if that's all, then I guess we can...be in your commercial'

The lady leaves to go and tell her cohorts that the white girls said yes and we spend a few minutes laughing and thinking about what our local friends will say when they see us on TV. Then the lady comes back with some bad news...They wouldn't be ready for another one and a half hours. We were already a little iffy about really being in the commercial and that just kind of sealed the deal, we definitely were not waiting around.

That was for sure the most random thing I have experienced in a while and definitely the last thing I expected to happen today.
