My brother and I grew up in Detroit during the Yzerman/Federov/McCarty/Vernon days. Now he lives in Las Vegas, and it's his birthday this weekend, so this call happened yesterday:
Me: "Hey man, I know your birthday's coming soon, AND you finally have a hockey team to cheer for again, AND they're in the finals.. So I've had a pretty damn good year, investment wise, and I know yours was tough. How about for your birthday I hook you up to go see a game? I saw ticket's are $900+ on stubhub, but I figured I could still work it out for you AND your girl. Game 1 is at home on Monday"
Then I hung up on him abruptly - like I'd lost my phone connection or something THREE times he called me back right away and I didn't answer.
Finally called him back. "Hey, sorry - I lost my signal there. Anyway."
He cut me off, "YOU GOT ME TICKETS?!?!?" I could hear him jumping up and down, shouting to his girlfriend they were going to see a game
Me: "Uh, no man, that's crazy. I was gonna wire you $50 to take your lady out to a sports bar Monday night.. Happy Birthday, Bro!"
"Fuuuuuuuuuu*** YOU!!!" Hung up on me.
Mwahaha.
