Why I love my friend J
February 1, 2004
I've been hanging out with an old friend...getting reacquainted. I've been teaching him the art of storytelling, and this e-mail from him proves that I'm either doing a superb job of teaching, or (most probably) he's just humoring me and he knew how to tell a good story all along:
I went to petsmart to get cat food, and I was walking around and smiling at people, and I realized that I wasn't even faking it. And I was standing taller...and wasn't looking at the ground while I walked or talked. And people were smiling back at me, and I felt GOOD.
And then I realized that my fly was open.Not just down, mind you, but GAPING OPEN. The pee flap had kinda wedged its way out a bit and was holding the whole contraption apart. Ah yes. And so I laughed and laughed, and people looked, and it made me laugh more.
The thing is, what's even better about J is that he totally didn't get mad at me for sharing this e-mail with Kate. And he didn't get at all pissy when I told him that Kate and I laughed and laughed, too. And he even gave me permission to post it here.
And that, my friends, is why my friend J is so beloved. And why he's a better man than most.
Thanks, J. Thanks. For the laugh.
Flyboy.

That's a great story!
I'd love to hear more about the art of storytelling, do post something please
Well, really I'm just a hack and I'm trying to impress my friend J like pretending I know more than I actually do. Hahaha. But I suppose I can do the same here, as long as everyone is as nice about pretending to be impressed as J has been.
