Poor J had to know this post was coming

Conversation last night while watching television

Liz [singing along to Top Gun-esque tune in movie]: Highway to…the danger zone!

J: What?

Liz: Highway to…the danger zone! Oh, nothing; the music just sounded like that for a minute.
J: Is that what you really think the song says?

Liz: Highway to the danger zone? Wha--? That’s not what it is?

J: It’s “I went through the danger zone.”

Liz: No way! Really? “I went through…?”

J: Yeah, think about it: they’re pilots. There’s no highway.

Liz: I thought it was metaphoric. Y’know, like we’re not takin’ no footpath through the danger zone; we’re on the highway, blasting through it! We don’t care if it’s a danger zone.

J: It’s “I went through.”

Liz: That’s crazy. My whole world is turning upside down.

[minutes pass]

Liz: Are you SURE? I really think it’s “highway.”

J: It’s not “highway.” You want me to call Krista?

Liz [pauses movie]: Yes. Very much so.

J [calls Krista]: Hey, okay you know the Top Gun theme song…Okay, is it: “I went through the danger zone” or “Highway to the danger zone”? [pause] No, it’s THROUGH the danger zone! Okay, look it up…Kenny Loggins..uh huh. Hmm. Really?

Liz: HA!

J: [grumpy] The opening scene is on a tarmac with planes! They’re never on a highway.

Liz: I’m telling you: it’s a metaphor.


Wedding Artifact:
It's about time!
