- We're talking dream date compared to my horror.

- It started out fine. She's a very nice person.

- And we're sitting and we're talking in this Ethiopian restaurant that she wanted to go to.

- I was making jokes, you know, like, hey, I didn't know they had food in Ethiopia. This'll be a quick meal. I'll order two empty plates and we can leave.

- Yeah! Nothing from her, not even a smile.

- So I downshift into small talk...

- I ask here where she went to school, and she says Michigan State.

- And this reminds me of Helen.

- All of a sudden I'm in the middle of this massive anxiety attack - my heart's beatin' like a wild man, and I start sweatin' like a pig.

- Helen went to Michigan State?

- No, she went to Northwestern. But they're both Big Ten schools.
