Do you really believe that I feel as if I'm in hot water? I feel as I have entered the internet equivalent of a van full of geeks telling me that they are going to do things to me if I do not eliminate my favorite five option.

Flounce? Flounce? I do not flounce.

That story brings tears to my eyes.

And reminds me of mine: Lo, in the ice age when I was an undergraduate, I worked at the front desk of the library, answering inane questions and checking books out and in. The front desk faced the doors; to the right as you entered was the stair block, with glass doors behind which the staircase could be clearly seen, labelled helpfully, "STAIRS."

You can see where this is going.

The librarian yelled at me twice for telling the millionth and the million-and-a-halfth person who asked, "They're over there, through the door marked 'stairs.'" And I kept saying it anyway, because really, what other way was there to answer? Interpretive dance?
