I once had a girl exclaim to me, "Wow! 18 inches!"
We were playing co-ed softball, and I jumped up to snag a line drive, and all of a sudden I heard from the girl playing first base, "Wow! 18 inches! You jumped 18 inches!"
She meant well, but it really wasn't a compliment, because I was a high jumper in high school, and my vertical should have been much closer to 30 inches than 18 inches. I like to think she just mis-estimated how high off the ground I was, because it was a pretty good jump. She was impressed, though. I guess any girl would be impressed by 18 inches, right?

Did I read that correctly: what she said was 18 inches, you thought was 30?

Isn't that how it always is?

That reminds me of my mission . . .
I had an Irish companion who was one of the most amusoing guys I ever met. Our first morning in the apratment together he is in taking a bath and yells out loudly and excitedly to me (please supply a lyrical Irish brogue as you read the quotation)
"Elder! I've just figured out how to make it 10 inches long!" I tentaitvely respond "What?" and he says "I folded it in half!" |
