When my eyes first fell upon the task "Merci," I was elated. A wonderful opportunity arose to thank those around me for menial tasks. But to my dismay, I drew a blank as to what I should thank people for.
In utter defeat I turned on my television in hopes to find inspiration. It did not take long for inspiration to strike me in the face, as if I where a disorderly call girl and owed it a large sum of money. "Jurassic Park" fluttered across my television screen in a blur of dinosaur gore, and, to the sound of screaming children, an idea came to me.
"I should thank people for both installing and using door knobs, for the estimated time it would take a raptor to open one is fifteen minutes. That's an extra fifteen minutes to not be eaten by a raptor."
So I did. My sign was simple, and my intention unknown, yet it was, and so it will remain to be. Sitting on my brother's door, with my bite mark, (Because bears carry things in their mouths, or at least, I do.) and ever vigilant to thank those who use door knobs in there everyday life.
