Oh Oh, I got a funny story about “sieve” too!!
So at every Boston University home hockey, there is a banner hanging behind one of the goalie nets – it reads “GOALIE” when BU’s goalie is in that net, “SIEVE” when the opposing goalie is in that net. So, I’m at a game with Cousin Thomas (hockey player and LA Kings fan [unfortunately]) when this exchange happens…
Cousin Thomas: Hey, who’s Steve?
Me: Steve?
CT: Ya, Steve.
Me: Steve who? I don’t know no Steve.
CT: Steve – that guy on the banner. Who is he?
Me: *looks up at banner quizzically*
Me: *starts laughing hysterically*
CT: What?
Me: Don’t you mean “SIEVE”? That “T” is an “I”
CT: *looks sheepish*
Me: Hooked on Phonics worked for me!
CT: Shut up.
That guy, Steve…he sure is an awesome goaltender. What’s is GAA? Like 15? Sweet.
