@great-big-stees saidDamn... that's gotta hurt.
Gimme a sec. I'll check in the mirror...
Yup it's me alright.
@mudfinger saidNothing wrong with the picture that I can see? Having monitor issues?

@very-rusty saidIn our high school, I was one of the "hall monitors" and it was like being a policeman...if only I'd had a baton. 😢

@great-big-stees saidI was asked and turned it down! 😉 Only back in my day which was after yours the 'hall monitors' were called 'Student Police', they even had a red ban that went on their right arm with big white initials that said 'SP'.....We come up with a lot of names that have the initials 'SP' as you can imagine. 😉

There are no "SP"s here, so auditioning is not necessary.
Actually, that explains a lot about you.
@mister-moggy saidActually this is a funny Story.
many years ago i was on a train heading toward the desert town of mojave. next to me was a set of expensive luggage that bore a
brass plate on each valise which read "amelia earhart". for a bit of
time i thought she was aboard the train as why would her name be on the luggage set. after a while i figured it must be a high
end luggage set trading on her name as a traveler.
i stopped going thru the cars yelling "howland island anyone ?"
@suzianne saidIt could have probably been reworked to become a Horror Story for the RHP-contest. Alas it didn't.
Hmmmm. Mildly amusing is the best I can rustle up.

Next to me in seat 13 (spooking my superstitious nature) was a set of expensive luggage that bore a brass plate on each valise which read "Amelia Earhart". For a bit of time, I thought her phantom was aboard the train as why would her name be on the luggage set?! After a while, I figured it must be a high-end luggage set trading on her name as a traveler...It was then a ghostly figure tapped me on the shoulder...'
