So I was at yummy-night (ACM’s version of Thanksgiving Dinner), and towards the end of the meal Sean notified me that he knew of a Japanese ad I really needed to see.

“Really? What is it?”

“It’s this dog in an iPhone commercial!”

“Oh, wait, you mean the one I tweeted this morning?”
[I am working on paper for my Japanese class about iPhone sales in Japan, and instead of making progress on writing, spent far too long this morning watching ads for SoftBank, the telecommunications company in Japan that carries the iPhone there]

Anyway, back to the story… Sean denied having read my tweet, or facebook status, claiming that
“Brian showed it to me”

I would have been surprised to hear Brian followed me that closely online, and Brian was there to defend himself. Again, no way it was my tweet he’d read, claiming,
“I heard it from my friend in California!”

“What, no way!” Far too coincidental.

“yeah, my friend Dana in California” said Brian.

“wait wait wait — you mean Dana, who’s dating Marquis, who follows me on twitter?? That Dana???”

Case closed.

Except, not closed, in fact. As CS students, we found it necessary to graph what had just occurred, over the course of one day and a couple thousand miles.

[I guess the diagram is missing an arrow from Sean to Mo. Oops. You get the idea though.]

And, FYI, the ad I originally tweeted was:

At least I have now fulfilled my role in life as part of a CS/math concept.
