RUBY
My friends Dan and Julie had a little girl on Saturday morning. Josh called to tell me that little Ruby Rappaport Trujillo Jambalya was healthy and doing well (that's what Josh said her name was). He and I started to ponder the different, very separate paths that two good friends can take -

JOSH: "Yeah, it's interesting that when Danny called to say that Julie and he had their baby, I was sitting down with my roommate to watch an illegal cock-fighting video we just purchased."
ME: "There was a real fork in the road somewhere, wasn't there"
JOSH: "Yeah...and one of us is off the map... "
