Entry #87

Listening to:
Rachmaninoff, Vespers.
I saw a delivery van in the street the other day. Across the top of its side were written the words Put yourself in my shoes. Looking closer, I saw that this van belonged to a shoe manufacturer called something like Mr. England Shoes. I smiled at the clever use of the phrase, and thinking about it subsequently, decided that it won, not just because of this cleverness, but because of the way it made you think of the manufacturer as a individual rather than a faceless corporation. The Mr. England helps in this regard as well I expect.

More comp-sci humour.
