Oh, life can be too funny. I have a friend who's taking German in high school, and I knew he had a birthday sometime at the end of last month. So I put a traditional German birthday greeting with his name in it as my screen name on Instant Messenger.
Well, I overestimated him. His limited knowledge of the German language was of no use to him, and he saw and all he could make out was his name. Porr guy. Naturally he was a bit panicked.Too funny.
My new screen name? Mia Culpa. Maybe he'll have the good sense to Google it this time. . .
