When I got to the Business Office at about six after 8AM I asked Jackie Dolentz if I was first and she told me I wasn&#8217;t. Art Johnston had beat me to the punch. He was already gone and it took me ten minutes to fill out all the paperwork so Art was most efficient.<\/p>\n<p>When Jackie told me I was &#8220;number two&#8221; I caviled at that description. I explained how I&#8217;d just seen a trailer for the &#8220;Emoji Movie&#8221; while watching &#8220;Despicable Me III&#8221; with my fellow roof climbers (See previous post). One of the <em>sad <\/em>(yes there is some justification for that word) punch lines from Emojiville comes from Daddy poop emoji after he and his son exit a toilet stall. &#8220;We&#8217;re Number Two,&#8221; they chorus. <\/p>\n<p>It was unnecessary to explain that imagery to Jackie who seemed to get my drift, quickly correcting herself, &#8220;You were second.&#8221; I thanked her for her delicacy then left Old Central putting way too much thought into what poop leaving a bathroom stall on foot indicated. Had they just flushed their creator down the drain?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I also made our vacation number two. I made Claudia delay our trip to China until the searing month&#8217;s of July and August just so I could file for the School Board.
