Without you even asking for it.

It happened to me today. I went with a coworker to Ming’s near campus. We had a Go Local card, which should grant us a 10% discount. However, when we tried to use it the cashier said “Oh, I already gave you the Teacher’s Discount”.

I guess we were too old to even look like grad students.

I saw this truck while driving home yesterday. Is this some sort of cliche, like “Make lemonade out of lemons” or does Sam really make silk purses out of sows ears?
