1- Suppose, hypothetically speaking, you were the administrator of a public elementary school. Now, pretend it's a Spring pollen-filled day, and one especially allergic kindergartner reports that one of her eyes is watering and she's feeling a little under the weather. Do you:
A) Assume hay fever?
B) Ask if she got something in her eye?
C) Diagnose a case of Pink Eye DESPITE ANY ACTUAL PINKNESS IN THE EYE and demand that her parents remove her from the school until she is either cured or a doctor determines that she does not have Pink Eye?
2- Please caption this picture:

1. I'm going to have to say C ... Because if your daughter's school is anything like my daughter's school, then I'm sure they approached you as if you were the worst parent in the world for not realizing she had ... pink eye. Oh wait, she didn't have pink eye! Darn that hay fever!

1. As a product of this country's fine public education system, I'd also have to say the correct answer is C. These are the same fine folks who determined in sixth grade that I had a horrible rash on my hand and had to go home immediately, lest I risk infecting the entire school with leprosy.
Turns out my hands just needed lotion. Who knew?

Stacey and colby, you guys rock! Yes, here in San Francisco the answer to question #1 seems to be C. Of course when I brought my daughter to the doctor, and the doctor asked if she had gotten anything in her eye, my daughter said, "Yes." Why that didn't occur to the school folks, I'll never know.
Your answers to #2 were both excellent. Colby, was your line a reference to Ally McBeal?
Vixen, I disagree. I think Putin looks way MORE human than usual. The pursed lips, the sad eyes, and the aching tenderness with which he delicately caresses Dubya's hand, all these things nearly bring tears to my previously-jaded eyes.
2) Sorry you have gas.
And Misfit goes right for the potty humor. I like it!
