Around Christmas 1995 a friend came to visit me in my newly married, presumably happy, life in Michigan. We went to a museum where we saw an exhibit of a Japanese tea room. Outside the display was an attempt to describe this exhibit. It started with something like: “Within the tea room, one feels loneliness which penetrates into the marrow of one’s bones...” and ended with the caution “Please do not enter the tea room”. I laughed out loud.
If you don’t get it, you probably should leave.

Safety first
An email just went out in my department. It starts with this rather disturbing line: The old fire alarm system is finally being replaced with one more capable and less likely to catch fire itself.
Don't you just love it? Glad you're safe there.... or going to be!
