Table Topics April 18th

Several people got to try their hand at ranting. It was very therapeutic for several of the members. Dave was the table topics master of the day, whose theme was rants! There was a three way tie for table topics today between Peter's rant about tourists, Paul's story about setting a house on fire, and Christa Colway' s rant on the loss of her application. Peter talked about how tourists do not realize that stopping in the middle of the highway is not a good idea. He also said that sometimes the decision of wear to go next can be overwhelming, so much so that tourists stop in the middle of the crosswalk deciding which way to go next. Paul talked about how he did a study on how to loose friends when he accidently set a friend's house on fire by turning on lights that his wife had draped wet clothes on to dry. Christa spoke on how the government lost her application for a job she had already interviewed on, but had to reapply for it anyway. When trying to reapply, the government website informed her that she had in fact applied for the job and could not reapply. John talked about how the traffic in Portland is horrendous and the housing costs had encouraged him to move from the city to somewhere less expensive.
