And I thought *I* was the funny one.

My friend and her husband, having met at University of Virginia, where he played basketball, were overjoyed when VA won March Madness some weeks ago.

basketballAt the time, I sent her a congratulatory text. She wrote back that she was impressed I knew. It’s true I know and care little for professional sports, but my husband sometimes keeps me informed.

I texted back: “I care about stuff you care about. I mean, not your kids or your husband or your dog, but basketball I can get behind.”

Here I figured she must be wetting herself from my masterful command of humor, and yet, a second later, she wrote back:

“Good. Our priorities are the same.”

This is why “Hillary” and I are friends.

  1. It’s good to have a friend to share things like this with. You don’t need to share basketball scores with me though, never understood the game – I mean you’re not allowed to tackle the guy with the ball? What’s up with that?
