The trials of life

Overheard in corridor:

Student: That form says you need to write 4000 words for your personal statement to apply for university. I'll never think of that much to say.

Her friend: It's not 4000 words, it's 4000 characters.

Student: Oh, right. But I've got an itchy tooth as well.

  3. I can understand that. Even typing one character when you have an itchy tooth is tiresome.

  4. Clearly, an itchy tooth will make you highly distractable. I wonder if that is what's wrong with my firstborn....

  5. Wow. Do you suppose this is an ailment found only in Scotland?

  6. Clearly someone was playing a Katie Mellua record nearby. She makes my teeth itch something awful.
