Hehehe, before I left for work this morning, I managed to catch an episode of Seinfeld on TV. The show's got a lot of funny dialogue all throughout each episode, yeah, but nothing beats the humor of Friends, ehehehe. Or I may be biased, hahaha.

What caught my attention in this episode was when Elaine said that George was not her friend, but a "friend-in-law" because Jerry was his friend. The three of them had planned to go out together or something, but Jerry had to cancel because he had to take care of something else, so Elaine and George had to go without him. They ended up sitting quietly at a table, but then broke the silence by talking about Jerry.

Hahahaha, breaking the silence by talking about the friend they have in common, sharing what they know. I've been in lots of situations like those. Meeting a friend's friend. Hating the awkward silence between us. Desperately thinking of what to say. So of course, what are we to talk about first? The friend we have in common. Hahaha, when something random comes up, that's when we keep on talking, until we find more in common with each other.

It's amusing. Well, I don't really consider people like those as "friends-in-law". Depends on how I know them, they'd either fall under the category of acquaintance or friend.
