I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feeling so I won’t mention names, but have you ever had one of those boringly long phone conversations where the purpose of the call is completely necessary but after 30 seconds your ears do the equivalent of your eyes glassing over and then about ten minutes in you realized that you’ve absent-mindedly stacked 40 kernels of corn like a tiny Stonehenge?



I can’t remember anything I agreed to on the phone but I can tell you the date of the autumn equinox.
