Just a typical day in the ivory tower

Just a minute ago, as I was sitting here in the UW student center looking at a Michelle Obama fashion slide show, a guy came up to me with that look of someone who wants something, and said, "Have I read you a quote yet?" He told me that "in honor of Gandhi" he was reading people Gandhi quotes, and then took out a folded, crumpled piece of paper and read, "Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes."
