Welcome everyone to our very first official blog entry concerning the oh so unfamiliar term common sense.

Let the shenanigans begin!

A couple of months ago I was passing Samba Room and noticed that the chairs were up on the tables and no one was inside. On the door was a sign that said “Temporarily Closed For Renovations.” Fast forward to last week, I was walking to work like I always do and passed Samba Room like I always do. While waiting for the light to change, I noticed a lady and her husband approach the door. Like intelligent people, they read the sign. But to my dismay they proceed to yank on the door handle, dumbfounded that it won’t open. On the second try it still wouldn’t budge. Clearly they must have been confused by the sign the owners of the restaurant left in the window informing patrons that they were “Temporarily Closed For Renovations.” Maybe they thought that the sign was put there by mistake, and they would have dinner there. Or Maybe they thought it was all a rouse. No, no, no, I know, they thought that even though Samba Room was closed, that it would magically open just for them, after all, they were special people on a special date. Apparently reading and comprehending FOUR words proves too difficult for some. 

Until next time,
