inaugural idiocity

The girls standing in front of me lay down newspaper on the ground everytime the line stops. No, not to sit on, but to stand on! I asked if they're trying to keep their pumas clean. But no, they read that if they stand on newspaper they'll stay warm. Apparently they read this in a newspaper. I told them that I read that if they put the paper on their heads they'll be safe from radiation. They're head to toe in newspaper by now.
