I was thinking about one of those silly myspace quizzes that make the rounds every so often. One of them, asks the question “Are you someone’s best friend?” I said that I didn’t think I was.

I remember this one time in college, when a friend of mine confided in me. He told me that he and his then long term girlfriend were having problems. He felt that they could’ve been able to work them out, except that when she was on vacation with her family the week before, she had an affair with a guy named “Thor”.

I remember the look on my friend’s face when I busted out in full blown laughter. I tried to hold it back, but I couldn’t. After I caught my breath, I explained myself…

“Don’t you get it?? She got nailed by Thor… and his mighty hammer… Miulnar”

I laughed some more after that. In fact, I still chuckle everytime I think about it.

I don’t know that my friend understood just how funny that was to me at that point in time. I think that he may see the humor in it now, but I’m speculating. Yes, he and I are still friends and no, he and his girlfriend did not work things out.
