[Ipg-smz] Just like the decline of the Roman Empire

[Phil Shapiro]

Tonight at the public library where I work -- 

I amble over to a co-worker. 

Me - "What is the library event tonite?" 

Co-worker - "It's an author talk." 

Me - "What's the food?" 

Co-worker: "Cookies." 

Me - "Cookies, no cheese?" 

Co-worker - "Yes, cookies, no cheese." 

Me - shaking my head - "The Roman Empire started its slow decline when they had author 
talks with cookies, no cheese. Will we ever learn anything from history?"
