4 pages does not a dissertation make.

Still a funny(ish) story, tho.

Think of the amazing story he gets to tell for the rest of his life though.

How much is that worth?

Kind of annoyed with a $10 parking ticket I just got. Sign said "2 hour Parking between 9a-5p" which I took to mean that parking overnight had no restrictions. But I got ticket at 4am that said I violated "overnight parking."

Hmmm. Can I use the paper for this one too?

1- this is obviously a copy/paste from elsewhere and you didn't credit the source, which is bad.

2- don't post full articles, just link and add your own comments.

3- this belongs in Laughs and Links if you're not adding any comments.
