Pat and I are at a big party thrown by a swanky hotel for NYE. We got their early, parked at some great seats, then all of a sudden, he zeros in on someone across the room, like a pointer who got wind of a duck.
"The looks just like a guy from KA at Purdue....." (One of his pledge brothers had transferred from Purdue to Texas A&M after initiation.)
"Pat, the world is not that small. It can't be him. Your eyes are playing tricks on you."
"No, it looks *exactly* like him, it can't be anyone else."
"For the love of God, don't embarass me, OK? It probably isn't him."
"No, I won't, but if I see him go to the bar or something, I'll get up and 'run into him accidentally' or something."
I am now preparing to hide under the table as he bothers some stranger.
But it really WAS his "long lost" pledge brother and they've been inseparable ever since!
