So this was during my freshman year at college. I was sitting in the cafeteria having dinner. It was kind of late in the dinner time, so I was sitting alone and just trying to hurry and eat my food. This was back before Coe had their big ~*renovation*~ in the caf and it still looked kind of like a prison, ANYWAY the point was I was sitting at one of these tables, and my back was to a bunch of frat guys at the next table. I don't think they were Sinfonians, but they were frat guys.
ANYWAY this was the week or so after the pope died and so it was all over the news on the TVs in the caf. The guys were talking about it too, I guess, because the next thing I know I heard, "Wait, the pope got shot?"
Silence falls at the table and I can just see the "Are You Serious?" looks that all the other guys are giving him, but one finally answers, "... Yeah..." like he's not sure what else to say about it.
There's another moment of silence, after which the first guy says, "Man. I didn't know the pope was a brothah!1"
I almost choked on my bagel.
1I apologize for mangling spelling, etc. But it really needs the ghetto sound to get the desired effect. I am hopelessly white and am fairly sure that this guy was not.
