Ok, I usually don't do this. In my blog, I usually don't report anything seriously personal, and I certainly don't talk or write about things relating to friends, as they may not want to see it in public. This one, however, is so hilarious, I can't help it. And in any case, nobody who wasn't there will be able to tell who this particular friend is anyway.
A few days ago, I sold out a friend.
We were having dinner, and one of my Chinese friends complained that he couldn't find a girl-friend with the right value system and morals. (No Chinese-Americans need apply and noone else anyway who doesn't have a Chinese value system.)
I thought of a Chinese friend of mine and told him that I know someone he should meet: "She is good looking, is a physician, and has an apparently fertile pelvis." Everyone around the table could see the warm glow in the eyes of my friend as he was imagining her as the mother of his children (or child, for that matter). How much better does it get to marry a well-educated woman? The perfect mother for your child.
Then I went in for the kill: "She is also coloring her hair black, isn't that hot?" Nobody got the cultural reference except for my friend, but everyone noticed the jolt of energy going through his body as it made 'clonk' under the table.
I hope she will not disappoint him.
