Booking Through Thursday
This week's question asks what is the strangest thing I have ever read. Well, while it is technically a book, I would have to say the telephone directory. Now, before you say that isn't odd -- I guess the circumstances surrounding my reading it are what are odd. You see, like many teenagers, I had a boyfriend who was the one I hung out with when I was between "real" boyfriends. I was the same sort of "girlfriend" to him. Anyway, we would talk on the phone for hours and when we ran out of things to talk about, we would read the phone book together and find as many funny names as we could. The funniest that comes to mind was Weldon Rumproast. I now feel bad about making fun of Mr. Rumproast's name but you have to admit -- it is unique! As far as teenagers reading the phonebook for entertainment -- what can I say -- we were really innocent!
