That's kind of you, OH, but I'm afraid I'm no revolutionary. To me, it's a transaction of mutual benefit, like when I buy vegetables in the supermarket. which saves me growing them myself. In this case, she gets rent money and I get a place to live.

Times two.
I think they may be a snark-based snack. What exactly is a snark? Lewis Carroll lists its characteristics in his poem:-

"Let us take them in order. The first is the taste,
Which is meagre and hollow, but crisp:
Like a coat that is rather too tight in the waist,
With a flavour of Will-o'-the-wisp."

Perhaps someone can confirm if that is what saltines taste like?

Who last came to your front door?
Yeah probably the mailman.

Do you have any phonebooks or know when you last used one?
Haven't seen a phonebook in at least a decade.

How did you observe New Years?
Probably got drunk.

Can you whistle?
He) yeah. I love whistling so loudly and shrill that everyone hates me.

I guess I just eat them by themselves or maybe in some tomato soup.

I hope not in retail stores with piped in muzak! Homicidal clerks will plot your demise. Don't even go near a café.

Could you send me one of those by FedEx? What teacher hasn't dreamed of having one for that difficult class?

You’ve probably read this but a lot people in my neck of the woods actually want teachers to come into class armed. I can tell you for sure that wouldn’t end well. A kid at a neighboring junior high tackled the in school cop and stole her nine right off her. Nobody got hurt amazingly. The cop got fired though. But it occurred to me that sooner a later a teacher probably will go postal somewhere. One story I found amusing even though it’s quite morbid was a teacher in California I think hanged herself in her class in the morning before the students arrived and the early bird student got more than a worm that day. She was welcomed by swinging corpse.

Now that's how you teach gravity in the South.
