The Old Man Is Snoring

So this morning back in Greenwich it wasn’t raining at all. There seemed to be a light drizzle overnight but nothing in the morning. I took this to mean that it wouldn’t be raining in the city either. Well I was wrong. Since I like walking in the morning I exited Grand Central Terminal quickly, and upon seeing the rain I grabbed a free newspaper, to help cover me from some rain. Now while I was quite content with my makeshift umbrella it wasn’t until I reached the office that I saw what happened. I was settling into my office when I realized my hands were entirely black. Then it hit me, the rain had gotten the newspaper wet, and the ink had run off the paper and onto my hands. Oh and it didn’t only dye my hands, it got on my pants, shirt, and earphones. It’s been very difficult to remove from my hands, and it refuses to get off my white earphones. So in the future do NOT take newspapers with large dark inked pictures and hold them above your head in the rain. If you try it don’t say I didn’t warn you.
