More quotes from B'wizc.
From Aaron's account of his attempt to take the Postal Service exam last week.
"...the ticket said we could not bring bags bigger than 8in x 10in. This doesn't make sense to me because they are putting two-dimensional constraints on a three-dimensional object. They had 8 x 10 pieces of cardboard that said, "Your bag must be small than this." If I had held the base of my bag up to the cardboard, it would have been smaller than it, but the postal folks only noticed that the face of my bag was bigger than the cardboard. I tried to argue that my bag is only bigger than the cardboard when looking at it from certain angles, but they didn't understand me."

I think Banewicz should start a blog, so that "Banewicz tells a story" becomes a more frequent experience.
