missroseroseTRANSCRIPT OF A CONVERSATION TAKING PLACE BETWEEN ONE RYAN TAYLOR AND MYSELF AT APPROXIMATELY 11:47 THIS MORNING, ALASKAN STANDARD TIME:
"Who was that asking for me on the phone?"
"Someone big."
"Who-wha?"
"Someone big. Your father."
"My father?"
"Your father cleared some money."
*blink* *blink* "And he wants to pay me back? Did he leave a number?"
"No."
"Okay, maybe I should call my grandmother..."
"No--no! It was a stupid--a stupid father dream!"
"It wasn't my father?"
"No."
"Then who was it?"
"The cab company."
"The cab company? What were they calling about?"
"Skipping the setup fee."
"The setup fee? Then why were they asking for me?"
"I dunno."
"Ryan, who was it?"
*snore*
At that point, I used my Amazing Powers of Deduction™ to think of who might have been calling me this morning, and called Ian back.
Unfortunately, as so often happens, my APD™ also came back with an unasked for conclusion: It's not a good idea to try to get information out of someone who's in their second hour of sleep after being up for 24 hours straight.
