Something's Gone Awry...
Funny story....

Just and I were sitting at the dinner table last night eating our broiled salmon and cous cous. Suddenly it occured to me that we haven't used our barbecue for salmon yet, only the occasional flank steak and some barbecued chicken. So I suggest we use it. The following conversation ensues:

Me: Hey, we should use the barbecue for salmon sometime, I keep forgetting we have it.
Justin: I dunno
Me: C'mon, barbecuing fish is easy!
Justin: When I do it, it always goes ahwree.
Me: (thinking: it what?) *pretending I didn't hear him* What?
Justin: It goes ahwree.
Me: (now I have no fucking CLUE what he's talking about) It goes WHAT?
Justin: AHWREE!
Me: What? Ahwree? Oh, AWRY! What the FUCK, Justin, did you forget how to talk? I thought you were talking about some weird kind of barbecue style that I'd never heard of or like some way for fish to get charred. I was like, what the HELL?
Justin: yeah... um... I kind of just.... well, I didn't think it sounded right.
Me: AHWREE? Where the hell did you get AHWREE? *laughing my ass off*
Justin: I dunno... I just... forgot....

It was so funny. I mean yeah, you had to be there... but for one of us liberal arts students, just forgetting a word is pretty fucking weird.
The real kicker though is what he said next...

"Did I ever tell you about the time I forgot how to ....?" (yeah, I told him I wouldn't post it even though it was so damn funny. Now I'm leaving it blank so you all can wonder and fill in the grossest things you can think of even though they're probably far from it)

OOH, OOH, he caved and let me embarrass him, he said:

"Did I ever tell you about the time I forgot how to go to the bathroom?"

OK, we all had some experience as stupid as that when we were a kid...

But Man. I tell ya, sometimes I really wonder.
