funniest. thing. ever. for stella especially

so our friend simon is getting ready to go to jamaica. am i jealous? of course. inga love beach. and sand. and sea. i'm happy for simon, though, because he's certainly ready for a vacation. and, as if feeling bad that he's going and i'm not, he gave me this gem:

asks i, "how are you getting to the airport?"

says simon, "yahto's driving us all in the mini van."

five seconds of total silence pass.

"what?"

simon laughs. "didn't you know yahto's got a mini van now?"

now here are the reasons this is funny,
1. yahto, in his former life, was a member of a xxx band that was relatively well known and toured the US and Japan
2. yahto, in his present life, rocks out still in various bands
3. his students sometimes recognize the band from #2 and are floored to know he was a part of them
4. yahto is kind of hip in a i-don't-give-a-shit kind of way
5. yahto would shudder at the idea of conforming in any kind of way

yahto now drives a mini van. and he doesn't even have kids.

ah, how sweet it is!
