Here's Your Sign

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Do you walk to school or take your lunch?

Do you walk to school or take your lunch?

In my father's schooldays (1919-1930), in the Monadnock Region of N.H., that was a very common & very justifiable question, especially by local teachers: if you were transported by wagon into town centers to attend school every day, you needed to "brown bag it", for your midday meal; if you lived close enough to walk to school from home, you were allowed to leave to walk back home to eat during the lunch break, and then return for afternoon lessons.

We were hiring for a position at work. Several people had been interviewed that day. A fellow walks into the shop (Through the BACK door) that morning and is standing there, obviously waiting for something.

"Can I help you?" I ask.

"I'm here for my interview." He stated, flatly.

"Oh, I see, then you need to go to the front door." I said.

"You have a front door???".....
