“There once was a young Aztec man from central Mexico who was quite athletic. He was so athletic that he represented his country in the Olympics, and won several medals for his abilities in gymnastics. When he returned home he was honored to be named an honorary head of his tribe - a caliph, if you will. Needing to make some money, as he had been an amateur athlete, he took up teaching – and like everything else in his life, he excelled at it. The students loved him and did whatever he asked them to do. However, as time went on the underfunded school where he taught suffered from being in a “rough” neighborhood and there were a number of unruly students who got away with a lot of misbehavior. The only person in the school who universally got respect from students, teachers, and administration was him, so he was elevated to the top job to take care of the problems there. When he got the job, he was told, “Super Caliph, agile Aztec, expel all the douches!”
There were many, many such puns my roomie made that year – I wish I could remember a few more. But this one was the most elaborate and complex of them all. And the most memorable, too!
And, by the way, based on the way he played against Louisville, I will have to reiterate: He's not just Amile, he's an entire buffet!
