Insanity comes with the job.  You *can't* walk out of TRU with an
armload of Legos without leaving a few brain cells behind!  Curiously
enough, the same thing occurs at school.  Leave with $459 worth of
books, leave a few brain cells behind.\

The entire system is insane.  Anything else would be, well, crazy. (1)

exciting to discover that I'll be wearing hers for a day at work (2)...

(1) If this made any sense to you whatsoever, I know a nice man you
should talk to.  Ask about his free jackets.

(2) Just don't anyone tell her I said that, or I'll be sleeping on the
couch tonight!

(3) Oh no, I've caught the footnote virus!
