So in 10th grade, we were reading Death of a Salesman and Jon Gandomi was playing the part of Happy Loman, who frequently greets his brother with "Hiya, Biff!" Jon apparently wasn't paying attention to the context of the sentence in the first reading and ended up saying "Hi-YA, Biff!" (as in karate chop hi-ya, not friendly greeting) Therefore, every time any of the characters said "Hiya!" (which, in Death of a Salesman, is a LOT) everyone would yell it like a karate war-cry, making the death of this particular salesman gruesome and brutal. It was awesome. Mr. McLellan the teacher was not (outwardly) amused. (But most likely inwardly cause he was a pretty cool teacher.)
That said...wait, where was I going with this?

When I first saw this title, I read it as "Hiya, BFF!" which is not a friendly action-greeting for your bff, which made Jon's misreading all the funnier.
Ha! So true. BFFs are BFFs no more after being cleaved apart by ninjas.
I just laughed till I cried. No, really. Oh, Jon...
Even if that boy goes on to be President of the United States, I will still remember him for that and only that.
