Fliers and Signs

A lot of my time is pointlessly wasted in:
1. Making fliers and signs
2. Laminating fliers and signs
3. Taping up fliers and signs

And all these fliers and signs contain the following:
1. When the tours begin
2. Where the tours begin
3. How long the tours are
4. Arrows pointing to the direction of the tour

And, of course, most of the questions I personally receive aren't about history at all:
1. Where is the bathroom?
2. Where can I get water?
3. Do you have a map?
4. Can I have a map?
5. Why can't I have a map?
6. What about the map that YOU have?


I would like to make one last and final flier and post it everywhere. It will not contain any pictures, cute boxes, or exclamation points. There will be no promises and no arrows. My new and improved flier will say:

ALL QUESTIONS CAN BE ANSWERED BY SIMPLY WALKING AROUND AND USING COMMON SENSE

Of course, sometimes I get some strange questions. Those are always entertaining.

"What is your nationality?"
"What is your phone number?"
"Where do you live?"
"Can you tell my son that you met Yogi Bear?"
"How old were you when you realized you wanted to do this with your life?"

With my LIFE? Are you serious???

First day of school tomorrow. Have to finish a scholarship essay, but I'm putting it off.

Hey, thanks for commenting on my story. Good luck with your novel!

By the way, I love the entry below this, with the tour guide exaggerations.
