I used to go down to Border's Books & Music to study and work on homework. It was on one such trip - when I was at the very bottom of the pit of dispair - that I found a copy of Me Head (Chapter One) sitting on the table. Curiously, I picked it up... and started laughing out loud. The humorous thing is that the authors were sitting a couple of tables away from me - I didn't know that until later. Whenever I need a really good laugh at life I pull my old paper copies out and thumb through them.
