Second day of history class

Well, today was much more amusing than yesterday. This is totally due to the fact that my colleague and friend, Jason, was able to attend.

I was giving him some ribbing over missing yesterday. However, Jason was able to really bring it all upon himself when during the morning lecture on politics in the 1920's, the professor put up this picture of Al Smith.



Now what you don't see in this picture - that appeared in the the one shown during class - is a watch chain stretching across Smith's stomach.

Jason wondered - aloud (unfortunately) what it was.

"That's a what chain," the professor replied.

"I know that but on a big guy it doesn't look very flattering," Jason said.

"Why? Would you like me to get you one?" the professor asked.

I don't think he meant to imply that Jason was a big guy like Smith, but that was how everyone took it.

Laughter ensued. It was easily the high light of the morning session.

Not content to leave it at that, Jason also provided the high light of the afternoon session.

When there was a lull in the action, Jason asked if he could check his facebook page on my Blackberry - especially since Jason's cell phone is the equivalent of a bag phone from the early 90's.

We had to download the facebook application for my Blackberry and reboot it, but soon Jason was checking his facebook and trying to play his games on there.

The highlight came when after a few minutes Jason tried to log off. It seems that the facebook application remembers only one facebook account and password. So whenever I open that application, Jason's account and password automatically pop up.

Now, this is alarming to Jason since I could log on and do all sorts of things - actually I can't since I don't have a facebook account and have no idea what I'd be doing.

However, that didn't stop me from doing a quick google search fro great practical jokes to play on someone when you have both their facebook account and password.

Just kidding, Jason. I didn't google that.

We are still trying to figure out how to reset the account and password information.

But it is good leverage to have.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow's session will bring.

Who knows, I might just wind up with his social security number and ATM code.
