ouch!
PS: lookit you blogging 2 days in a row! and lookit me reading and commenting on blogs!
That’s hilarious.
In my school library the following was overheard: “What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire?” Frostbite!”
Eavesdropping is fun. And library catalogs have ugly furniture.
That is hilarious and brutal, of course building decisions like new carpeting are usually the product of a committee and one never knows the politics that influences these sorts of things, or maybe they’re just all color blind.
