5. I had some fun there while visiting Brett

I attended a few classes with him, including a Spanish class, which was one of my majors. The teacher divided us up into groups to do an in-class assignment so I helped Brett's group, which meant they were done first, so one of the guys in the group started to chat me up.

Him: Where did you go to college?
Me: Pittsburg State in southeast Kansas then I did some grad work at Oklahoma State.
Him: Oh, OSU! Good ol' Eskimo Joe's (famous restaurant/bar/place for bands to play)
Me: Oh, you know it?
Him: Yeah, I'm from Tulsa. If they had a good band playing, my friends and I would go.
Me: Oh, I'm living in Tulsa now.
Him: Oh, really? What church do you go to?
Me: (forgetting where I was) Oh, I don't attend church. I prefer sleeping in on Sundays.
*uncomfortable silence as it dawns on me what's happening*
Him: Well, if you're interested there's a good church at 101st and...
Me: That was your church, wasn't it?
Him: Yeah, but I think...
Me: (realizing how to shut him up) Actually, I guess I do attend a church every now and then - St Francis de Guadalupe - a Spanish-speaking CATHOLIC church so I can practice my listening skills.
Him: ... Oh. * Turns to talk to someone who doesn't hang out with Catholics *

After class, Brett told me he was having to keep himself from laughing out loud at the predicament I got myself in as well as how I got myself out of it.
