Most conversations that I am involved in at 1 am require the brain power of a gnat… half mind gnat if you know what I mean.

A few nights ago a friend of mine states,”I was reading an article about dirty street fighters.” He then begins to jabber about dirty street fighters, which I immediately assume to be a new video game.

Just the name alone tells you all about the game -

• dirty (nasty - cheat - not so clean)
• street (unkempt - not sophisticated - homeless)
• fighters (punches - swords - guns)

Great name I mutter, immediately asking if any ninjas are featured. Now any game with ninjas is immediately cool!

For some reason, when I ask my friend about ninjas, he looks completely confused. So I’m thinking, jeez, do I have to explain what ninjas are?

As we both sit there looking at each other, it dawns on me that maybe he is not talking about video games. Hmmmmm?!?

My friend begins again, “I was reading an article about dirty street fighters.”

Yeah - got it! Hello!

He claims there is a bunch of them that work for Caltrans.

Work?!? Caltrans?!? Never happens!

Well anyway, turns out that he was not talking about a video game but a new program designed to clean our highways in California. aaahhhhhhh!?! Would make a great video game title, especially if it has ninjas!
