Me: [hovering at the piano, hoping to get some The King & I or Mame played but noting that the pianist was not only playing the catalog of West Side Story but was swamped with requests from all sides] Ah, well.
Man at the edge of the piano: [silent]
Me: [sitting back down but as soon as one song was over, darting back up to the piano, only to see that the waiter was preparing to sing a slow, somewhat stirring solo] Oh, shoot. [sitting back down]
Man at the edge of the piano: What's the song?
Me: I don't know, but it's romantic.
Diego: WHAT?! Dude. You're so stupid!
Ten seconds later
Diego: "I don't know, but it's romantic". Jesus Christ!
Ten seconds later still
Diego: Dude, that's so stupid. And you were so serious, too!
Two minutes later
Diego: Oh my God. "I don't know, but it's romantic". Ha ha!!!
Ten minutes later
Diego: Oh, Jesus...!
It really wasn't that funny, but soon enough I, too, was in near-hysterics.
Ah, to laugh at ourselves. sometimes it is so rich....
