"Did it ever occur to you that the signs you saw and interpreted so swiftly could have been ancient history, like a fossil begging you to peel off the layers and interpret the correct story of its life long ago?"

"...Gosh darn it, anything but that name...Preston. Thanks a bunch Mom and Dad, you really did me a favor!"

"Would anyone want to sit by the grumpy looking tall guy whose legs are spreading out from his seat in all directions except the ones they are supposed to go in? "
