Eriginal Flavor
"Wow! This is so cool," I said, shifting the laptop to a more comfortable position. "Have you guys ever used the Love Calculator?"
"The Love Vibrator? Sure," said NiNi.
We all just looked at her.
"The Love Calculator figures the compatibility between people. Let's see...Kevin, you and I have a compatibility rating of 12%."
"I guess it won't be working out, then," he said.
"Odd, because you're representing my favorite flavor of ice cream."
"Must be just coincidence."
"Must be. You and Mel scored 95%."
"Wow," said NiNi.
"NiNi and Kevin...88%. Not bad either. NiNi and Mel...71%. NiNi and I...77%. So we all get along with NiNi.
"Mel and I scored..huh, 84%. So we are all compatible, except Kevin and I."
"Do me and Tom Cruise," asked NiNi.
"Yeah, do me and him too," said Kevin. (Meaningful glances were exchanged amongst the women in the van.)
"NiNi, you and Tom are 77% compatible." NiNi smiled contentedly.
"Kevin, you and Tom are...12% compatible."
"I was just asking for fun," he said. "I don't really care."
Later, however, it was confirmed that the tear each of us thought we saw forming in the corner of his left eye was not imaginary.
