So I went by my school cafeteria to get a hot dog so I wouldn't pass out between English and Ceramics. (Or more accurately, between my online adventures before now and ceramics.)
And I noticed a sign sitting behind the counter that said "Breakfast is self-serve. Please serve yourself."
What, pray tell, is the average intelligent college student supposed to assume that "Breakfast is self-serve" means, anyway? "Breakfast is self-serve. Please wait to be served"? Then again, I'm assuming that the average college student is intelligent, or at least that the there are enough average and intelligent students around here to be worth considering. Perhaps not. When I look at the decisions American Society in general has made (let's sue everyone just because we can, even when we're suing them for something WE did, etc) and I look at the fact that many of these society people have come through college or that those that never did go to college either are too-hard working to make stupid decisions like that OR are assumed to be generally less intelligent (notice the BIG or there. hard-workers are very often very intelligent people, and I couldn't ever do manual labor or other such work as they do.) and so one must wonder what's happening in the college system to produce such a society.
But then, one could wonder about a lot of things in today's world.
Meanwhile.. I decided to give my hot dog time to be digested so I'd be less dizzy before going to Ceramics, and so I decided the best thing to do would be to come to the lab and blog about the sign.
And when I got here, some oldish man walking out of the lab looked at the last couple of bites of my hot dog, looked at me as if in greeting, whispered "That's Fattening" and walked off.
Well, thankyouverymuch.
