Concocted a little story today as I biked to campus that had me chuckling to myself. It's about the convex mirror that presides over the gated exit to some marginalized administration building's parking lot. You see, as everyone in the department knew, this entrance was always particularly dangerous. But nothing was done about it until the day Belinda S. Crane, a woman with a chronic disorder in her neck vertebrae that prevented her from looking too far to the left or right, got her flashy little sports car run over by a cement truck. To those that still honor her memory, the mirror erected subsequently is known as the "Belinda S. Crane Memorial Convex Mirror."
