The Man, The Legend, The Firefighter

Regis has the same birthday as me.  But that's pretty much where the similarities end.  He's an eagle scout, biologist, and soccer player.  Fighter of fires, destroyer of darkness, and a beacon of truth.  He's spending his year after graduation in Africa right now, saving children from AIDS through soccer and goodness.  His absence has left a hole in many hearts.  And whenever I'm around his friends, they can't stop talking about him.

Moi: I missed the train by six minutes!  Now I have to wait another hour.  So mad.

Mac: You should've ran.

Moi: I did!  But there's no way I can make up six minutes' time by running.  The train was already gone by the time the subway pulled in.

Mac: Regis would have run.  He would've caught it. 

Moi: It was six minutes!  He would've had to run so fast that the earth spun backwards on its axis and turned back time to catch it.

Mac: Haven't you met Regis?  Regis could've done it.
