Hey all! I thought I would share with you one of my favorite Ghostbusters experiences. This was about 2 and a half years ago. I was taking a Ninjitsu class in Capital Hill, Seattle. I don’t take the class anymore as there was some political infighting that caused the class to self destruct. Sadly, I was not able to witness the final class. From what I hear, it ended with a 102 year old master going super Saiyan on everyone’s asses leaving a wake of destruction only rivaled by Chuck Norris.

Anyway, I digress. The Dojo in which the class was held, was used by many different classes and the Ninjitsu class was the final one of the evening. The Akihito class before us, hands over the keys to the building so that we can lock up. My chum, Sean, was in charge of all that. The Akihito instructor, a woman in her late 30’s, asks our group who is in charge of locking up. Sean was in the back getting dressed so I took it upon myself to answer on his behalf. It went a little something like this:

He’s in the back, getting changed. You see, he is the keymaster. I am the gatekeeper.

She just stood there, looking at me and didn’t say a word. She didn’t have to, her face said it all. Her expression either said “I have no idea what you are talking about, you are such a dork” or it said “Oh, a Ghostbusters fan, what a dork!” She could have killed me with one touch…and I am sure she contemplated it for a moment. But either way, I was the grand champion that night!
