So today on my way back from gymming, I saw something interesting. Tuesday is trash day for us, and we leave our bins outside on the street. I saw 2 of them belonging to my neighbors. I live on Spruce Street.

The neighbors labeled their bins, as did we, only their bins were a bit more creatively labeled. They say "4210 SRUCE."

Now I can understand if they didn't want to get an extra cut-out for the "P," but they could have easily used the "R" and not filled in the part that makes it an R and not a P.

I would have taken a picture, but I didn't have my camera with me, and it was raining, so I didn't feel like going out again.

*Princeton is Penn's Rival school. I don't really mean to say that the people who go there aren't intelligent. Certainly they are more intelligent than the residents of 4210 "Sruce."

Perhaps "Spuce" was short for "it's puce"?
