This
cryptic message is scrawled on a
dry-erase board in my
living room. For all of those who are
curious, let me explain why:
Last
Halloween, I went as
Bruce Lee. I bought a "
kung fu" outfit (the type with a white
mandarin collar, like the one he wore in
Enter the Dragon). Since then, I've often worn the bottoms as
pajamas, since they're incredibly comfortable. My roomates affectionately call these my
ninja pants. One morning, I woke up and made myself a
peanut butter sandwich in my
bedroom. I set the
sandwich down on my knee to log in and check my
email. I heard one of my roomates laughing in the
living room, so I thought I'd go see what everyone else was up to. I picked up my half-eaten
sandwich and walked to the
living room. As I walked through the door, I looked down and realized there was a huge smear of
peanut butter on my knee. Still looking down, I took a couple of steps into the living room and spoke the words that will haunt me to my
grave; "Awwwwww...I got peanut butter on my ninja pants." Then I
looked up, and saw all three or my roomates staring at me. Then it sunk in. There I was, a grown man with no shirt on, wearing
purple flip-flops, with
peanut butter on his
ninja pants.
At that point, everyone in the room besides me
cracked up. I
sulked back to my room and changed into some proper
pants. Later that day, the quote was written on our
dry-erase board. To this day, I dare not
encourage them by erasing it.
