Letters From North America by Peary Perry The Bear on Sep 27 2008 | Filed under: Culture I must be weird… Wait, don’t answer that. I already know the answer. Last week I was sitting in the lobby at my dentist. His office has two entrances. If you come in the back door, there is a sign that directs you to the lobby by turning either left or right.
