So, a few weeks ago the Roommate and I were driving to the gym (because we're health conscious and like to look at cute men), just chatting away because we're clever and witty. We were also listening to NPR because we are worldly and knowledgeable and we could do two things at once, like listen to news of the world as well as banter on about all things fun and funny. At the top of the hour a newswoman with a British accent announced " Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assasinated today" and both the roommate and I stopped our chatter. My mind raced. "Isn't there enough unrest in the Middle East? Is this backlash because of the war in Iraq? Will this cause the next world war? What is this going to do to the economy?" Then an American newswoman's voice announced over the radio speakers: "That was the BBC headline ten years ago today". I looked at the roommate. He looked at me. We both realized we had been thinking the same thing and all there was to do was crack up.
Worldly and knowledgeable, my ass.
