Aren't you glad you don't live in here?
Aug. 20th, 2004 03:17 amApropos of nothing: I passed a sign today outside of Harvard, in the window of an empty storefront. The sign read "5,800 sq. ft. Not divisible."
Of course, I knew what it indicated (that the space couldn't be broken into more than one store, presumably), but I reflexively thought, "Ah, so that's what 'prime real estate' is."
I observe this to remind those who are inclined to hit me with rubber chickens when I tell bad puns: you hear the ones I tell out loud. But I have to live with these thoughts all the time. Isn't that punishment enough?

Isn't it off by a square foot?
