if ever a picture was worth a thousand words...

...then this one's definitely in the running:

here's the story.

scott and i walk into the math graduate lounge on thursday. the board says "for a good time -- ", then has a phone number.

scott and i debate whose cellphone it is, and then for fun, scott added "for a better time -- ", and put his own number below it

still amused, we decided together to put "for the best time of all -- ", and then wrote colleen's number.

i still had to finish out my roll of film, so here's scott, pretending to be WAAAAAAAY excited about calling the unknown number, his own, and/or colleen's: (i did black out most of the numbers for the privacy of my friends.)



still, the mystery remained... whose number was the first one?

the next day, before pizza seminar, the numbers were still there and people were discussing them. tom told me that paul ellis had written "for a good time --" above the first number, but they had tried to call it and got no answer. on the way to church this morning, paul confirmed that too.

still, yesterday, the question still remained... who did the first good time number belong to?

last night, leigh was looking at pictures on my computer and started laughing hysterically before she even heard the story to this point. when i commented "you don't even know the story yet, what's so funny?", she told me to tell her the story and then she'd explain.

apparently, the first number was leigh's number. she had a student taking a quiz while she was working in our office, and wrote her cell number on the board for him in case he had any problems with people trying to kick him out of the room. it never got erased, and she had no idea what had happened to the board since to produce this picture.

sooooooo, even though it was funny before the missing chinks were filled in, scott, looking extremely eager to call leigh for a good time, himself for a better time, or colleen for the best time of all, makes it just that much more priceless.

aren't math people entertaining? :P

later dudes.
