We were discussing the midterm elections, and especially the ABC media coverage. I’d been working all day, but Nana had been home watching the TV, and NHK apparently has some sort of agreement with ABC.
- Nana
- So I was watching ABC coverage all day, especially Joe Hell … Joe Hell … Joe Hell …
- Guy Jean
- Joe Hell?
- Nana
- You know who I mean! You knew who he was even when I didn’t!
- Guy Jean
- Hmm … (Searches of “ABC” and “Joe” are showing Joe O’Brien in Australia, and that’s most likely not who we’re talking about.)
- Nana
- Joe Hell … Joe Hell …
- Guy Jean
- (Lightbulb flashing) George Stephanopoulos?
- Nana
- Right! George Stephanopoulos! What I said! He was just starting out when I was in college …
- Guy Jean
- We knew him as “Joe Heck” then …
- Nana
- … and now he’s the top guy!
- Guy Jean
- Yeah. I can see how you confused “George Stephanopoulos” with “Joe Hell” …
- Nana
- “Joe” … “George” … They both start with …
- Guy Jean
- They do not!
- Nana
- Oh.
(Five minutes of belly laughter later … )
- Nana
- Still, I was close …
- Guy Jean
- No you weren’t!
