en passant

Also in the funny friend department, Parker landed a good one.

(yelling to upstairs) Parker: What are you doing Sunday?
(yelling from upstairs) Tyler: I'm busy, some of my co-workers are coming over to celebrate my birthday.
(quietly, to me) Parker: When was his birthday?
Me: It's Monday... as is mine.
Parker: Aww shit. I just betrayed the fact that I didn't remember yours by trying to hide from Tyler that I didn't know his. Fuckin' en passant bullshit.

It took me a while to understand the appropriateness of the en passant reference, but once I thought about it, it was genius.

This is not the right way to recount such a funny situation.
