Someone I know wants to go to an opera for her birthday, and I don't know if I have the attention span, but I can do the whole "it's a birthday" thing and be fine. However, she's also had novocaine today, and her words are slurred. When she kept talking about "Bellini opera" I kept not quite hearing it.
What I heard was "bulimia opera".
Which, of course, would be fabulous. It would be the tragic tale of love and high fashion and would feature models, and songs like "Can't I Be Smaller Than Zero?" and "Love Means Holding Back Your Hair" and other such favourites, with the cast vomiting and then erupting into arias.
It was probably a "you hadda be there", but damn was it funny. And there is nothing so good as filling an entire floor with laughter.
