Quotes of the day
“It’s very clear that’s what’s happening. It’s very clear. I mean, the population is going to continue to rise, and the earth is going to continue getting warmer and warmer. But I guess it doesn’t matter because we humans are just a bunch of cells swimming around in a little petri dish waiting to drown in our own shit.”
-One of the supervisors at my internship (and an adjunct professor at the University of Michigan), talking about his crusade to get his barber on board with global warming and population growth. I’m not sure why he was talking to me about this. I had only come into his office to be reimbursed for some items I’d purchased at Kroger for our agency’s wellness group earlier in the week. He commented on the fact that, while at Kroger buying a veggie tray for the group, I had also purchased (with my own money!) some maxi pads. (Although he only figured this out after trying to read what the abbreviation on the receipt said: “What’s ‘Styfree mxi 18′?”) After I explained, he informed me rather sanctimoniously that “feminine hygiene products” contribute to global warming because of all the packaging and somehow we got onto the petri-dish-drowning-in-shit thing. My internship is awesome.
