Scene Two: The phone rings and my buddy talks to my wife, electro magnetically connected across the Pacific Ocean by physical manifestations of wave equations; the same equations used to derive Black & Scholes option pricing formulae.
Yup, yup, hi, hi, thanks for presents (oil lamps to go with our tropical decoration motif back in HK), and hope you guys are having fun.
And, yes to the thread, I do miss my wife.
Immediately upon Jay getting on the phone, the conversation changed from oil lamps to “Jay, did your buddy #2 come out to Hawaii to meet you guys? No, well, let me ask you, where is he? On his way to New York? Do you know why he might have wanted to come to talk to you guys in Hawaii, business or personal? No idea? Maybe about his business idea? Is he expecting a second child? Yes, and is he thinking of getting a divorce?”
Well, by this time, call me thick (dense, dumb, or stupid), I felt something was seriously not right, and that I ought to consult a lawyer.
Bottom line, my buddy #2 on mainland USA, expecting a second child, propositioned a friend introduced to him by my wife, and the friend did not appreciate the advance.
Hmm, all of us are perhaps guilty in fact, and now certainly guilty by association. I would say Defcon 5 condition is called for.
Buddy #2 is reckless in action, faulty in judgment, absurd in action, and … oh, well, too late.
Only decision remains is whether Jay and buddy #1 should have a chat with buddy #2 about anything at all, like the price of hostel rental in the big city by the Bay.
Wedding March music rings in the head … Dumb Dumb dumb dumb …
I wonder if buddy #2 has some platinum and gold bullion coins secreted away somewhere, in quantities sufficient to start a new life.
Chugs, again, Jay
