Husband: So, was it fun going to five different stores and spending tons of money?
Wife: I only went to two stores...

(About a decade ago)
Sorority Sister : So, [Token Asian Friend], who do like?
Me: Nope. I'm not telling.
SS: Come on! Tell me! Is it someone I know?
Me: {silence}
SS: Is he in a fraternity?
Me: {silence}
SS: He IS, isn't he? Which fraternity is it? Is it [Fraternity's name]?
Me: {silence}
SS: I knew it. I see you hanging out with those frat guys all of the time. Oh! I know who it is! Is it [name]?
Me: {silently amused}
SS: Ha! I figured it out, didn't I? Hey girls, guess who [Token Asian Friend] likes!
This explains why, a few months later, this particular young man,who I vaguely knew, felt the need to pull me aside and tell me that he was engaged.
I would have been broken hearted, if I had actually liked him.

Pam C.-I agree. It could have been MUCH MUCH worse. She could have guessed right!
That Raven Chick- Lamda Delta Sigma. Not your typical sorority. Think about it... :)
