Outline
00:45 - Morton Shart's Joke School

06:32 - Just a months-old follow up, I'm currently listening to Episode 365, and just wanted to let you know as someone who works in emergency services we always instruct people stuck in elevators to not try to climb out until a technician or first responder tells them its okay. People can get cut in half as Griffin worries.

08:57 - Is there a cool way to run with a backpack on? I just returned to grad school and I wanna make a great impression. However, I'm usually late to class, and I'm always tempted to kick it up to a jog. How can I swiftly haul my precious books and impress my peers at the same time? -- Encumbered in East Lansing

"Need to create a chapter for Fight Club!?" "I need to create a new chapter for fight club as part of my culminating activity. It can start anywhere in the book or can even be about a character specifically. I need ideas!"21:03 - When my parents are ready to eat dinner, they always insist on waiting for me to get to the table before they start. This is usually fine, but they often wait even when I'm in the bathroom. If I'm taking a long time, they'll sometimes ask in a joking manner, "Did you fall in?" How am I supposed to respond to this without saying, "I'm in the middle of a very important, ya know, poop," knowing that right outside the bathroom door my parents are sitting at the dinner table forks in hand and ready to chow down? --Embarrassing Situation in the Empire State
