To say that I have an interesting group of friends is like saying Antonio Stradivari made a half decent fiddle.
I have this model friend. Super sweet & down to earth. REI type from Norcal.
She was dating this new guy, but wasn't ready to tell me who he was yet. All I knew was that it was a lavish lifestyle and she's not the hooker type.
Anyway, she Facetimes me from her iPad aboard what is obviously a private jet.
She's visibly buzzed and holding a glass of champagne.
I've seen a few jet interiors in my day. This one was different.
Me: Holy shit. What kind of plane is that? It's massive?
Erica: Hey! Do you want me to find out?
Me: Yeah, if you can!
Erica: (Walking w iPad to the flight deck) knocks on the door. HEY GUYS! What kind of plane is this? My friend wants to know.
Captain: Waving to me. It's a Boeing 767.
Me: Cool. Thank you.
She's walking back to her seat. Earbuds in.
Me: You going to tell me who he is yet?
Erica: Not yet. I will if it ends up being something.
She's sitting in a lush cream high back leather seat. Shifting positions, I notice the unmistakable view of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama over her left shoulder.
Me: Dude. Is that the Dalai Lama behind you???
Erica: Yes! Do you know him???
Me: Um, no I don't KNOW him!
Erica: He's super nice.
Me: He's like the 14th reincarnation of Buddha. I'd imagine the very least he would be is nice.
Erica: (No idea what I'm talking about) What?
Me: Nothing.
She takes a sip of champagne and shifts position again revealing former President Bill Clinton.
Me: Dude, Is that President Clinton behind you???
Erica: Yes! Do you know him???
Me: No I don't know him either!!!
Erica: He's really nice! Do you want to meet them?
Me: Yes!
She walks over to them and says...
HEY GUYS, MY GOOD FRIEND SCOTT WANTS TO MEET YOU!
She gets between the two of them, holding the iPad in her outstretched arm, selfie style. I'm in bed making this even weirder. I didn't know what to say.
They're waving & smiling.
Bill Clinton: How ya doin???!
DL: Hello (smiling & waving).
Me: (Waving) Mr. President. Your holiness.
She's walking back to her seat.
Me: Where are you going with them?
Erica: Monaco
Me: What are you doing in Monaco with Bill Clinton & The Dalai Lama?
Erica: Partying! Duh.
Me: Have fun!
And scene.
