Alone Again (Naturally)

#1 Post by andrewjackson » Tue Nov 11, 2008 8:44 am

It's time for aj's semi-annual "Predict how many humans I will interact with today" game.

The federal courthouse is closed to the public. I'm in the 6th floor law library.

Predict how many people will enter the library or call on the phone before I leave at 5 pm.

43 minutes in so far and nada.

Let's say whoever is closest. None of that "without going over" nonsense.

The phone number can be found on the internet.

Those calls, however, would not be counted as part of the contest.

I will guess 119, because this could be the day that the Incomparable Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band comes to Texas in search of a football team worth marching for, and their buses might get lost because none of the drivers speak English, so they end up in downtown Houston, where nearly everything is closed because of Veteran's Day, but they find an unlocked door on the Federal Building and go inside to search for vending machines, because they are hungry and everybody knows the Federal Justice System is fueled by Cheetos.

Let me know if I win.

Get someone to call Bix, and have her lawyer friends and some of her hubby's lawyer friends go to the fed. law library for drop dead type important information only available there.

If aj can't read, he'll never know.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

My sources say the marching band currently is touring the Galleria. The trumpet section wants to ice skate. There's still time for them to get to your building.

We don't have any vending machines on this floor.


Cheetos do sound good, though.

Maybe I'll take a walk and see if there is anyone around.
