Dear All:
The campus has received a threatening phone call, and we've been advised to evacuate the buildings. For your safety, please leave the buildings as soon as possible. We are making every effort to contact all of the campus buildings.
Thank you
self: what do you want ?

self: oooh, so we're being profound now, are we ?
me: not really. it just recently occurred to me that if you don't stamp out 'stupid' right from the outset, 'stupid' only gets more clever. irrationality bulds an immunity to logic. people become resistant to reason. and so on.
self (jumping around): gotcha !
me: *sigh* ... i don't even want to know ...
