Dan and his lack of tacos
A wonderful, hilarious story for you. Seriously, this is great.
Dan Settembrini lives next door to me in the dorms here at SCAD. There’s about 5 or 6 of us who almost always eat together in some combination. There’s a restaurant right below our dorm which is where we normally eat. There’s always a wide variety of food there, ranging from a cheeseburger to sushi. They have different stuff all the time, including Mexican food, particularly tacos.
Dan loves tacos. A lot. But JO’s (the restaurant) has only ever had tacos one time. It just so happens that the one time that JO’s had tacos that Dan was out of town (he lives about 2 hours away in Jacksonville, Florida, so about once every 10 weeks he’ll go home for 2 or 3 days). We thought it was so incredibly ironic that after Dan talked about tacos for such a long time that the one time they had tacos he wasn’t around. We called him that day and told him and he couldn’t believe it.
Fast-forward to a few days ago. Dan was telling us about how he was planning on heading to Jacksonville for the weekend. I told him right then, “Dan, you know that if you leave, we’ll have tacos.” Dan laughed and said that it would probably happen.
Yesterday Dan left. Tonight we had tacos. Seriously. Alex took a photo of the meal and texted it to Dan. No response. I’m betting he’s in total disbelief.
When Dan gets back on Sunday we’re going to go to Taco Bell to comfort him.
