The Last Laugh

ok I went out in service, it was Megan, Tina, Me and

Karl.

we go to lunch and tina brushes her leg against mine.

She goes, "Sorry I kicked your leg" and I say, "Its ok

you just glanced it."

The whole table goes quiet, and Tina says, "Did you

say 'glance' HAHAHA, don't you mean graze?" and then Megan and Karl chime in,

cause they are all haters who like to make fun of me.

But I insist that I used the word correctly, and they

are all saying how I'm retarded for saying 'glance'.

All day they keep saying stuff like, "Hey Dean can you

glance my door for me" and "I'm gonna go glance me

some muffins" or something like that. Just generally

making me feel worthless even though I know I used the

word correctly. They even almost made me doubt my

vocabularistic knowledge. (ok vocabularistic is not

really a word).

So just as we are about to part ways, I say, "How

about a wager? If I'm wrong, the next time we go out

to eat in one of our big groups to a restaurant, as we

have the custom, every time someone says "*****"

(non-expletive deleted) I will get up and do a stupid

dance"

Megan then goes, "The Dumb and Dumber dance!!"

"OK", say I, "but if I'm right, then the three of you

have to do it" We all shook on it.

I waited till the next day since I went to a Beth

Orton concert that night and on the slight chance that

I was wrong I did not want to ruin my evening. The

next day, lo-and-behold, I was correct. Webster's

dictionary states that glance can mean (1st def!), and

I quote,"to strike a surface obliquely so as to go

off at an angle " and it is a synonym of 'graze'.

VINDICATION!!!!

Karl, Tina and Megan have to make fools of themselves

next time we go out to eat.
