It had been snowing for hours when an announcement came over the intercom: ‘Will the students who are parked on University Drive please move their cars so that we may begin plowing.’

Twenty minutes later there was another announcement: ‘Will the nine hundred students who went to move fourteen cars return to class.’

Well, maybe not just yet. It’s good to have a long summer. Now I just have to remember to put more oil in my car. Stupid oil. Why can’t it just stay in the car where it belongs?
