Want a good laugh?

When in Phoenix, the existence of a certain photograph became part of discussion.  Upon my return home, I unearthed said photo from its ancient photo album, in order to scan it and send the embarrassing proof to friends.  When I did this, the photo album fell apart.  Pictures were everywhere.  So, I now needed to scan all the photos instead of just one.  (And that project was moved up on the mighty and massive "To Do" list.)

There is a considerable amount of downtime in between each scan.  While waiting for the machine to perform its duty, I read the notes written on the back of the photos.  It is always a good idea to write on the back of photos so you can remember who the hell those people are and what we all were doing in that shot.  (Nowadays, one would tag the photo.)  The real entertainment was reading the messages written on the back of the school photos.  If you want a good laugh, go back and read those messages.  I won't divulge any of that info here, but I can tell you that it involves many exclamation points and BFFs.  You can't get that kind of entertainment exchanging photos on Facebook.  It's a lost art, being that it's handwritten.  Reading the messages written in your yearbook is just as entertaining.
