World Cup or Scrapbooking?

A few weeks ago I needed a break from studying. I was hungry, so I ran to a nearby sandwich shop. I picked this particular sandwich shop because a portion of the dining room, which is separated by glass walls, has a TV that is always set to ESPN and I wanted to watch that day's World Cup soccer match. Instead, I ended up sitting at the table right outside the TV room staring through the glass wall at the TV, along with the rest of the patrons. Why? Because a group of eight ladies had reserved the TV room for their monthly scrapbook meeting. They had paper, scissors, and stamps on every single table in that room. As the soccer match heated up above them, they clapped for cards covered in glitter. As we tried to determine the dispute over a goal without the benefit of audio, they huddled around some paper samples. A group of young guys next to me joked about the hotties hogging the room...it was a joke because they were not hot. Needless to say, this joke was the highlight of an otherwise disappointing study break.
