A silly story from last night

One of Hilary's friends at her party was showing off baby pictures on his phone. Suddenly, I received a text message and started replying to it. He noticed, and asked, "Do you have baby pictures on your phone too?"

"No. I don't have any babies."

"Well what have you been wasting your time doing? What have you been doing with an important part of your anatomy? Your biological duty?" he pressed on.

"Um, boys?"

He started laughing, and Martin was cracking up. It was great.

NYT considers the Man Date

(from NYT) "Anyone who finds a date with a potential romantic partner to be a minefield of unspoken rules should consider the man date, a rendezvous between two straight men that is even more socially perilous." Another gem: "Other men say dinners may be all right, but never brunch, although a post-hangover meal taking place during brunch hours is O.K."
