On my way to the wonderful Subway for lunch today, where they have the greatest ergonomically engineered booths within which to supplant one's self, I found myself passing Westlake High School amid the churning of students walking to and/or from their various lunch break endeavors, and all I have to say is WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY TEACHING THESE KIDS WITH MY GODDAMN TAX DOLLARS NOW DAYS?! HUH?!
These kids, complete with their authentic retro 70's era garb purchased on their mom's GAP card, were just wandering into the street as if there weren't any cars barreling down the road at 20 m.p.h. which is the enforced School Zone speed limit around lunch time. I guess they were returning from where ever they'd had their "off campus" lunch: Pizza with a side of zits. But they weren't crossing the street at traffic lights or designated "cross here and not get maimed by two tons of Detroit steel" areas. Oh no, they simply stepped off the curb and right into traffic. When did they stop teaching kids to LOOK BOTH WAYS before crossing the street?!
Anyhow, I really like Subway's booths. They're composed entirely of plywood and some sort of plastic covering which looks hard enough to shatter diamonds on, yet they are extremely comfortable. Truly a feat of ergonomics genius!
Quizno's, on the other hand, employs the use of tall stools. This is no good. I think a man should have his feet on the ground when he dines. You never know when you may have to spring into action, and becoming tangled up in the knot work of legs and foot rails of a stool can hamper any post sub sandwich adventure.
