7. My mom sent me this gem from one of her classes:
Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 10:57 PM by Briarius
The H202 assignment was to look up your birthdate in a paper from 1950 and 1960. You are to tell what the main story is, and to find three products advertised. Then, tell whether these are still available today.



"The advertisements on my birthday 56 years ago were quite different than those of today. One of which was Witty Bros. Tailors. They were advertising "Fine Worsted Sharkskins" made to tailor suits. Presently, I don't thik tailors are allowed to use shark skin to make suits in that many sharks were almost hunted to endangerment in the mid 1950's. So this product is probably not available today."



sigh....

14. Has anyone asked you what "symbolic" means yet?
And you tell them that it doesn't mean anything, it just sounds cool? And they seem to believe you? :eyes:
