3.5 Degrees to Fame!

Do you know who Michael Schumacher is? You do? Then good for you! If you don't then you must either be from Mars (if yes, when u guys attacking us?) or you live on Earth but in a place with no TV, newspaper, foreign immigrant policy and connection whatsoever with the 21st century!

Anyways, my friend Yvo (a close close 2 degrees friend of mine!) plays football with Schumi. In fact, if on an autumn day, he can see Schumi's house from where he lives. after the leaves in the tree line behind his house shed their leaves. That's how close my friend is with Schumi. They were so close, they even share the same shower room and they wear the same jerseys when playing soccer. So close that they refer each other by first names!

Since Yvo is my 2 degrees friend, that makes Schumi my 3.5 degrees "friend" la and bringing me ever closer to knowing a famous personality!

One fine day, my pal Yvo brought his son, Matti to the game and after the game at the shower room, he thought it would be cool for his son to have their picture taken together with Schumi. So off he went brimming with confidence and asked his buddy Schumi if he would mind having his picture taken with him and his son.

As they were buddies in the shower room, Schumi said "Yes, man, no problem!"

Yvo immediately scoot over to where Matti was standing and asked Matti to go and have their picture taken with Schumi. But when he told him about it, Matti said " I DONT WANT!"

Yvo, completely taken aback by Matti was stunned. He tried his best to coax him and still the answer was "NO!!! I..DONT..WAANT!!!!"

Yvo was exasperated by Matti's reaction as clearly the little kid was breaking his balls!! But Yvo is not one to give up so easily too, hence, he said to Matti " Ok Matti, if you agree to have you picture taken with Schumi, I will buy you the toy car that Schumi drives. Ok? You know the F1 sports car?"

"I..DONT...LIKE..THAAT...CAAR!!!" answered Matti. Yvo's balls clearly being crushed to bits by that response....

At this point, Yvo thought that was it. Clearly his son has won his way and there's no way in hell he can get his son to have the picture taken. Head hung down and he let out a sigh. Finish. The end.

Son 1 / Father 0

Suddenly, Matti tucked at his father's shorts and said "Papa, If I can choose the car, then I will take the picture with Schumi" At that, without wasting any more time, Yvo bundled him over and have their picture taken.

Kid's these days DANG IT!!And there's the picture above!
