Date: Wed, 15 Oct 1997 06:59:13 -0400 (EDT) From: Mrovka To: "Chock Full O' Nuts" Subject: mercredi okay, it's wednesday, and we have still yet to get our email addys, and i have yet to speak to the people to whom i MUST speak for the VERY IMPORTANT CLASSES including my research Ind St, so i am getting a bit frustrated. and we were just treated to quite a sight in the restau-U. there was a middle aged man who was sneezing. I had my back to him, i thought it was just you typical middle- aged man with a cold. taz says, "that man has grass up his nose", and sure enough, i turn around and yes, he has two grass-straws sticking out of his nose. they are very long. and he's just sitting back with his arms crossed, sneezing every once in a while, with two straws sticking out of his nose. i thought, where is my damn camera when i need it? then i realize that he is a) making himself sneeze, thus the straws up his sinuses, b) is not covering his mouth or nose when he sneezes, and c) is spitting/blowing snot on the floor. needless to say, the students in his general area start to flee. poor taz has a direct view of all this grossness, and promptly loses his appetite. I however have my back to the man and therefore can continue eating my pommes-frites, but the sound effects get to me after a while. thankfully, the man gets up and leaves (a group of students came in after he left and placed their bags right on the snot puddle....degoutant!). students begin to return. taz still cannot eat and turns green when i accidentally say "booger". so we get up to leave, and we put our trays on the conveyor belt, with their respective loads of half-eaten food, when back comes mr. Man, who picks up taz's plate with half-eaten pommes-frites, and walks off with it, sits down, and starts eating. now i am seriously nauseated as well. we leave, holding our stomachs. just thought i would share the joy. especially as y'all have probably just eaten breakfast at this time. :) *shudder* Vivent les winos! suzi
