Tomorrow, my sister is staging a protest in front of a school board meeting, because they are considering cutting funding for middle school orchestra programs. She has a lot of people involved, and lots of signs. She's very passionate about this, which is really awesome. A few of her signs were a little over the top, though. ("Give me music or give me DEATH!", one said). I told her not to be too weird with it. "If you're too extreme about delivering your message, people will just stop listening," I cautioned her. "Like the people at PETA, they are crazy sometimes." She had forgotten what PETA stands for, so I explained. "Ethical treatment of animals. But these people are completely insane over their cause. Like they've been known to throw animal blood on people during protests, and do all sorts of things to get their point across." "BLOOD??" my sister says. "Like, real blood, they throw on just random people?! But, what if you were wearing capri pants or something?"
My sister has an uncanny ablility to make absolutely no sense.
