Triple entendre

Filed under: Montreal by Joel @ 6:46 pm, 4 February 2007.

This afternoon, while at Tali’s tea party in her Chabad-House apartment—delicately lit with the red radiance of the ner tamid—Anthony invited me and Naomi to see a movie tonight. Although neither of us was available to go with him, Naomi asked which movie. He replied “Smoking Asses” which left both of us confused. Eventually we discovered that the three of us were thinking different things:

  1. Naomi, being American, had human bottoms on her mind;
  2. I, Australian, was thinking donkeys with cigarettes;
  3. He, French, had mispronounced the word and actually meant gambling: “Smokin’ Aces“.
