Do not park your car in any of the casket store's spots located next door to Cindi's. This clearly upsets the casket store owner. The casket store owner probably paid hard earned money, from numerous casket sales, to purchase several towing signs. These signs warn people to prepare for towing if they aren't parking because someone is dead. Most casket sellers should be cheerful. It's not like...

Being socially awkward means a person does not feel like waking up with a huge, puffy mark beneath their eye. This is not something an uncomfortable person has time to deal with. How am I supposed to sashay into Le Cordon Bleu on orientation day with one funky looking eye? The first thing I did was come clean with the admissions guy. I could tell he might be thinking my hard-working husband...
