Dear brothers,
What is the point of Those Stabby Corner Things on the small gray cart?
Just now, in the office, I did in fact stab myself on Those Stabby
Corner Things. Yes, Alpha Chi chapter is hardcore, and we take words
like "stabby" very seriously. (Also, we have a first-aid kit for a
reason!)
Of course, most of the blame for stabbing myself falls on me. "Being
aware of one's surroundings" is a basic safety measure, especially
important around tools -- and yes, the carts count as tools. However,
Those Stabby Corner Things seem to be utterly pointless. I have only
ever seen them put to one use: holding up paper that said "APO Book
Exchange". As Bookex co-chair, I submit that we have more effective
publicity methods...
Therefore, I propose that we terminate Those Stabby Corner Things with
extreme prejudice.
YiLFS,
Alioth
