Excuse me...

[mapsedge]

Excuse me, guy standing by the side of the road.  I'm pretty sure your intention is far different from the end result.  I know you're trying hard: you look to be about the age where the way you look to other people is a matter of constant concern.  No one could possibly stand like you do by accident, not without being the victim of attempted vehicular homicide.  The lowered shoulder, the thumb in the pants pocket, the scowl, the insouciant look out from under your eyebrows.  One foot forward Just So, the other leg slightly bent; almost a reverence to the cars blasting by you on Hwy 291.

It's just that - not that it's any of my business - it's just that you need to close your mouth and breathe through your nose.  With your mouth hanging open, your gaze doesn't smolder.  You've got the intelligent, thoughtful look of a cow waiting to take a speculum up the ass.  Close yer mouth, dood.

I've come to the conclusion that, in general, the high school education I got in the 70's in a parochial school with a college preparatory curriculum is at least as good and sometimes better than a large amount of 'college educations'.
