Title: The sign with all the numbers on it
Post by: j rake on March 30, 2011, 06:40:26 PM
Outside of the Student Union today, there was a huge sign that looked something like this:

The sign is, quite obviously, an estimate of the current United States deficit. Anyways, a girl walked by the sign and stared at it for a moment before her and a friend kept walking. Then she stopped and said to the friend, "Wow, what would you do with $14 million?"

Maybe if the sign represented how many seconds a woman spends her life in the kitchen....which it may as well.
