Mitch: "Is it 'praying' mantis or 'prang' mantis?"
Brittany: "I think it is 'praying' mantis because it looks like they are praying."
Mitch: "Oh. Probably. I just always say it really fast so people don't know what I am saying."
Yeah, Mitch, you might want to protect that valuable noggin of yours. It's clearly filled with spot-on information about the world beyond engineering. Or maybe you just need to uncover your ears to hear "praying" instead of "prang."Since we've successfully filled Mitch's head with traffic engineering data, we can't expect him to also be an expert in entomology (that's the study of insects, Mitch). Besides, if we had an insect expert, he'd have to compete with the other "experts" around here, like our lawn expert Greg, who accidentally sprayed his entire lawn with Round-Up instead of a non-grass-killing herbicide this past weekend.
Thankfully, we really are experts at the things that matter here at Choice One (you know, like farming, cycling, and pizza). Let's just hope that Mitch's fashion statement doesn't catch on around here. It would take Megan twice as long to get ready for work if she had to put bags on her feet and a lifejacket on her head...
