Maybe...

-Maybe all we're trying to do is survive.
-We are. At least, we were, trying to stay alive and better the species. But we don't need to anymore. We don't need to evolve because we've shaped this world to fit our needs exactly.
-Maybe that means we won.
-What are we looking for, then? A prize?
-Yes. Heaven, Hell. Enlightenment.
-Maybe they're just a prize.
-Or maybe we think we deserve a prize. After all, we won.

School closes down to make way for strip club

Students at a Texas high school were surprised to see ten poles installed in a row in their courtyard this Monday. The school has since revealed that it will be closing down this year to be turned into a strip club.


"This is a great way for students to learn valuable skills they'll need later in life," said one administrator. "They're really going to need them, too. It's not like they actually learn anything here."


Some students have expressed outrage over the change...

So, my school has installed ten poles in the courtyard on Monday. It's been a few days, and all they've done is put some pieces of metal on top of them. They're just there, in a row by a wall of the west building. 


The general consensus of the students is, however surprisingly, that they're for pole dancing.


My theory:
     They'll take the ten most productive people in the school, chop off their heads and mount them on top of the poles as an example to the rest of us. How dare you try to be productive human beings! 


Other people seem to think that they're for flags, but the poles are square, not round. So they can't be for flags or pole dancing. (Though, honestly, that's what half the girls at my school are going to end up doing, anyway.) (Hey! That's someone's daughter!)


Ahem, so, the poles are a bit of a weird addition to the outdoor decor. Cuz they're isn't any. It's as ugly as sin out there, and the poles ain't helping.


Someone said they might be for banners or something. Whoo hoo, more propaganda. Like we don't have enough of that with the flatscreens they put up in the hallways.

The real use of the poles has yet to be confirmed, but we'll be back with more updates as soon as more info's available. Back to you, Bob.
