What are you doing getting orders from a cockie company.

I take it they are not studying cookies.

it's not so much the "cokkie" as the "call for you." it's as if i have tarzan taking my messages without the benefit of having chimps around.

pleez also share yr own stories of student based idiocy. (sorry ronan, et al. although i'm actually sure he'd agree with me.)

It reminds me of the extremely stupid girl in my class last semester who would blather on to another girl about her married boyfriend, shopping, etc. when I was trying to concentrate on the lecture. And then when she was failing her tests, she would burst into tears in class and complain to the professor about not understanding why she wasn't doing well.

The kicker? She was a public school teacher. So if that's the quality of the teachers out in schools today, no wonder Jess has kids writing about the cokkie company.

That is wonderfully evil. Working here in a university library and all, my coworkers and I have concluded that, bless the patrons' hearts, a fair amount of them likely need help in remembering how to breathe.

Best instance: sorority bimbette and frat jock look up something on computer. Bimbette to me: "What does it mean when it says 'missing'?" Me to her: "It means it's missing." Bimbette: "Oh, okay." Me to self: "The hell?"

It might be a message from an inept time traveller...maybe they meant to leave you the message like 10 years ago...
