#1 The two Tans
Jack's 3rd Ave. kiteboarding webcam was down for close to half a year now, because someone dropped it when moving it. As the kiteboarding season started this year, more and more people were noticing the absence of the webcam, and emails inquiries came to Jack's mailbox.
One day Jack told me Tan offered to donate his home computer to host the webcam server, so we wouldn't have to rely on the company hosting the webcam. Jack refused it a few times, because the hosting server was not the root cause of the problem. Jack just needed to get the webcam fixed and get it back on line. After a few times of unsuccessful engagement and many technical suggestions, Tan stopped emailing Jack with further offerings. Both Jack and I were quite amazed what a persistent person our friend Tan was.
Last week Jack came home and told me, "this guy walked up to me and said: it's good to finally meet you." It turned out it was the Tan who was emailing Jack, who was a different guy from our friend Tan.
#2 Confused about the singer
Finding out my favorite love song from high school was sung by a man rather than a woman.
#3 Are you alright?
One day I found Jack in the bed room lying on his belly. I was startled thinking he was fainting.
I screamed: "Are you alright?"
He looked up and said, "yes, I'm fine."
It turned out he was trying to deflate an inflated globe, and he was lying on it to squeeze the last bit of the air out of it.
