Before I jump into a riveting story about my night, I'd like to direct you avid readers out there to my online portfolio if you choose to read my more professional work there because this site will solely be put to creative use from now on. (www.dinamarie1.wordpress.com)
*****
I came home from playing a game much like bridge (called Tarneeb in Arabic) at Hacienda Starbucks (where you can run into between 1 and 45 fellow Egyptian(s) at any time of any day) and found my father in the family room watching David Letterman. I never watch this show but thought, why not? Hang out with the Pops and maybe the television will make me lol at some point. Little did I know the craziest thing would happen to me.
David decided at that precise moment that he'd engage the audience in the age-old "Current Events Quiz," the winner of which would get to introduce the guest of the show.
So this guy stands up and introduces himself as Craig from Melbourne, Australia. However, he worked in Canada so he's basically American in some way or another.
David asks him three questions:
1) The opening Wimbledon match between ____ _____ and ______ _____ lasted how long?
A: 11 Hours (I said 3 days but, whatev, close enough.)
2) People stood in long lines last week to receive what soon-to-be obsolete product?
A: iPhone 4 (Woop! Got this one! And I laugh at the obsolete joke.)
3) What free agent NBA player will the NY Knicks try and fail to sign?
A: The guy stands in silence, and gives up.
There I am sitting on the couch yelling "LeBron James!! It's LeBron! C'mon, even I know that!!"
If only I was in place of Craig last night.
It would be my pleasure to introduce... TAYLOR LAUTNER!
