Emily, despite all her flights of fantasy, apparently has a dose of Smucker logic as well.
Setting: We are talking about Matt’s coworkers.
Me: Is Keith married?
Matt: No, but Stepan has a girlfriend. Her name’s Alicia. She’s from Harrisburg
Me: Alicia Turner?!
Matt: I don’t know. Who’s Alicia Turner?
Me: She’s the person who had my cell phone number before I had it and I keep getting these calls for her. Hey! Wouldn’t that make a cool plot for a novel? Ok, this guy goes to a new town and gets a cell phone, and he keeps getting these calls for Alicia Turner. Then he gets this call from someone like a cousin or something who’s desperately trying to reach her—I don’t know why, maybe somebody died and left her a bunch of money—so he goes on this quest to find her and of course falls in love with her and stuff.
(And here's my Quote of the Day)
Emily: Quest?? Wouldn’t he just look her up in the phone book?
clarification: Stepan is the correct spelling. He's Russian, and his name is pronounced as Stephan.
ReplyDeleteWeird. My dad's phone number is the same way, except he used to get calls for "Ricky" all the time, mostly from one or two people. Nobody's called him for a while now, though.
