It was my godmother's birthday. My godmother was an eternally youthful
lady and I had no idea how old she was. I knew she was much much
younger than my lucky godfather, but no idea how young. I decided to
call my godfather and to guestimate, I called him and I said "hey, did
your wife turn 40 today?" He screamed "She's not 40!", followed by
"Pete Lee YOU SUCK" and hung up the phone.
An hour later I was
on the train on my way to work. There were two lawyers who were loudly
discussing their cases. There was an attractive older lady sitting
next to them, playing with her blackberry, and looking as irked as
everyone else on the train. It was two young lawyers, one of them a
bit younger and had this bravado in his voice as he casually mentioned
"ooh yeah, there was $300,000 at stake" amongst other things that
didn't matter but he tried to make them sound like they did.
There
was this old gag that my friends and I used to do: we would each take
out different objects: a shoe, a tie, a granola bar...etc., and we
would talk into them like they were phones and start up "important
conversations".
I pulled out my wallet and said "Hello? Doctor? Oh no, no worries, it's not a bad time. Can you please tell me your verdict? Oh, so it's definitely contagious? Extremely contagious you say? Air----airborne
contagious? No, no I'm at home. Yeah, that's just my TiVO." The two
lawyers' conversation came to a halt, and the older blackberry lady was
laughing. I kept on coughing violently into the lawyers' direction, as
I discussed payment plans with my doctor.
