Sometimes You Just Forget
"So you party with girls at night, huh?"
"What?"
"Jane says hi to you."
"Who?"
"She was at your place yesterday."
"Where?"
"She was counting your radiator gills."
"Oh, the one giving me weird looks. How do you know?"
"She asked me if it was you."
"Do I know her?"
"You two met at Christmas party last year."
"Sorry, I have no idea."
"You were talking with her for more than hour."
"Oh, what a faux pas! Send her my hello."
"OK."
"... Is not she your girlfriend?"
Person number two is of course me. Person number one is my co-worker. Jane really is his girlfriend, but Jane is not her real name, not because I don't want to reveal it, but because I forgot it.
