A whole town of rule-followers

The evil side kick and I like to joke that the thing that truly sets us apart from other mere humans is that we are rule followers. It is also our greatest flaw . . . this rule following.

Over the christmas holiday, the Phenom and I were driving in the little town near the Old Folk's home and I pointed out some funny little thing. The Phenom wanted to know why it was being done that way rather than the easy way. I quipped that it wouldn't be good citizenship to do it the easy way . . . and this was a town of rule followers. Phenom scoffed.

Then, we pulled into the local Rite Aid emporium. And, the manager CARDED me . . . TO BUY NYQUIL. Yep. A whole town of rule followers.
