It was a crisp October afternoon when Swiss Chris burst through the apartment door, "I met a girl from Switzerland today!" He was so excited to finally meet someone from his home country even though he was thousands of miles from there. Well, we all naturally thought, he's Swiss, she's Swiss, it must be a match made in heaven.
"So did you ask her out?"
"Of course! We are going Friday night," Chris replied.
The days seemed to drag awaiting the big night, Swiss Chris couldn't stop talking about it, but finally Friday arrived. After emptying half a bottle of cologne, Chris was off to the rental agency to pick up his car (since he didn't own one himself). I'm sure they smelled him coming from three blocks.
Although not always a big fan of hearing Swiss Chris's lectures/stories, I was somewhat curious to hear how this big date went. However, by the time 1am arrived, I gave up, and figured I would hear about it for weeks afterwards.
I woke up late on Saturday and decided to run a bit of errands. I was in and out of the house, but each time I passed Chris's room, his door remained shut. Finally, at 6PM that night, the door opened.
"Are you just getting up?"
"Yeah, it was a pretty late night, I didn't even get home until 2:30AM."
"230?! Wow that must have been some date eh?"
"No, it was BAD date!"
"A bad date?" I questioned, "But I thought you had never been on a bad date before." I said with a slight bit of mockery. "So, do tell, if it was such a bad date, what were you doing until 230AM this morning, just making out?"
"Well....."
"You are kidding me!! You were having a bad date and then you just made out with her all night?!"
"Well we weren't really talking much, and it was the only way we could communicate " Swiss Chris explained.
"Couldn't you at least talk about both being from Switzerland? Or people that you knew in common? You must have had SOME things in common."
"Let me start from the beginning. You see, we went out to dinner, and that wasn't going so well." Swiss Chris continued, "So we get back in the car, and she suggests we go to the cemetery. I thought was stranged, but ... okay, so we drove over to the cemetery. So ... we were just sitting there, and we were not really saying much, so we just started making out."
"Wait...hold on, you are telling me that you drove to a cemetery and made out all night? Are you serious?!?! Please tell me you are kidding."
At this point another roommate who had been listening walked up and said, "So what was the problem, you two didn't speak the same language?"
