My telephone rang about an hour ago and the caller ID said that it was from a Los Angeles area code. So I answered, unsure who it was calling. Here is the phone conversation that took place.

Un-named Friend: Oh my god, Mike. How are you?

Me: Hey! Un-named friend! It’s been a really long time.

Un-named Friend: You never answer my phone calls…I was starting to think you don’t like me!

Me: I saw that you were calling from L.A. I thought maybe you were my agent.

Un-named Friend: Wait. You have an agent?

Me: Do you think talent like this goes around unrepresented?

Un-named Friend: Seriously?

Me: No, douche. I’m joking. What’s up? Why are you calling?

Un-named Friend: I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday!

Me: (laughs)

Un-named Friend: You thought I forgot, huh?

Me: Well…umm….

Un-named Friend: Shit. It isn’t today?

Me: Not exactly. My birthday was in March, dude.

Un-named Friend: God damn it. March 21st! I thought it was April 21st.

Me: Yeah. It’s actually March 19th. But no biggie, really. I don’t like Birthdays that much anyway.

Un-named Friend: So, what’s new with you?
