Had the following e-mail exchange with my friend earlier today:
Him: I need to find an apt...I want to live w/o a roommate so if anyone knows of anything please let me know.
Me: I'm in the same boat... apartment hunting sucks. What neighborhood you looking in?
Him: All neighborhoods south of 80th street and in manhattan. i hate it.
Me: Eric Douglas's apartment is available now...
Him: I don't know who that is. Where is the apt? How much?
Me: Um, that's Michael Douglas's brother who was just found dead of an overdose there yesterday... it's 10 W 29th St., but probably out of your price range. And this joke isn't funny having to explain it to you.
Him: great location though
