You take the good, you take the bad

Blair, right, with future PE teacher Jo.

This is kind of TV-related, but I thought it was funny, so I thought I'd share.

Last Saturday I met my friend Louisa at a gay bar on Capitol Hill, as one of her gays was having a birthday.  I ended up chatting with her friend Pete and his boyfriend, and we all decided to meet up the following Thursday (last night) in Dupont Circle.

We settled the details about the when and the where over e-mail, and during the e-mail chit chat Pete indicated that I looked familiar.  Wiseass that I am, I wrote:

Not sure who I could remind you of.  Perhaps you recognize me from my brief childhood stint on "The Facts of Life" as Blair Warner's mischevious little brother. 

So, that's funny, right?

Well, I guess it just proves that I repeatedly fail to realize that not everyone gets my sense of humor right away, as my newfound pal shared this information with co-workers and was whistling the Facts of Life theme song all day.
