Three Steps to an Inside Joke Callback

It's been 8 days since I called A.I. "Al as in Albert" in a work meeting.

Make a friend smile today -

  • Step One: think of an inside joke you reference with them often

  • Step Two: remember the date when it happened, and/or find the email in your inbox/the text message in your phone where you first made the joke

  • Step Three: Use that date of joke origin as the Start Date and today as the End Date, and calculate how many days have passed here

After you figure out the number of days, send them a message: “It’s been 547 days since I called your outfit ‘sooooooo sheak’!” (This was me to my sister, and I will never live it down. Chic was the word I was looking for…..) Or maybe to my hometown friends “It’s been 7748 days since The Turtle Dove incident!” (a high school Christmas caroling mishap for the ages).

Here’s to enjoying all of our days.
