Black guy on cell: Dog, when someone says "interesting" in response to something you say, it's usually means that they think you are really fucking stupid. --5th & A Overheard by: Chris Williamson ***

"Gumption" is a horrendous word. So is "pithy". All I keep thinking about is "pithy quotes" as I do my exam.
