FLOWERING FRUIT

I accidentally dialed the wrong
number last month. The person
who answered laughed and told
me I had the wrong number.
I thought nothing of it, dialed
the correct phone number, and my
day went on like normal.
Then that afternoon, I received
a text message from the wrong
number I had called earlier:
"Hey baby. i miss you lots. last
night was a good time. we'll do a
repeat."
Unfortunately, I'd been on my
own the night before. Even so, it
made me smile.
JAKE HOLMES
On Easter Sunday,
a surprise
It was about 5 p.m. on Easter
Sunday and I had just returned to
my quiet home on Dewey Street.
None of my housemates had come
back to Ann Arbor yet. I was all
alone.

In an attempt to win their affec-
tion and perhaps some of their left-
overs, I decided to take out all the
trash.
After rolling out three full bar-
rels and congratulating myself
on a job well done, I was opening
the front door of my house when I
stopped and turned.
First I heard yelling. Then I
saw a boy wearing nothing but a
red thong. I stood staring as I wit-
nessed him streaking across my
street, shouting "My dick is about
to fall out!" followed closely by an
SUV of shouting guys.
Because the street was com-
pletely deserted, I felt it was my
duty to clap a few times in approv-
al.
LISA HAIDOSTIAN
A birthday night
serenade
Walking home from the Blind
Pig on my birthday last month, my

friend and I were nearly alone on
the deserted streets.
We were coming down East
Liberty Street when we sudden-
ly found ourselves facing a large
group of young men standing in
a circle just outside of Cottage
Inn.
They began to sing, inviting
us to join as they linked arms
around us.
We realized we had happened
upon the entire Men's Glee Club.
It was then that a friend of mine
was in the group, and the glee club
started to sing "Happy Birthday."
I was flattered, having dozens
of men serenading me in perfect
harmony. However, as the verse
ended, my friend rushed forward,
trying to prevent my compan-
ion and I from hearing the rest. I
couldn'tmake outmost of the non-
traditional lyrics with his hands
clamped tightly over my ears, bar-
ring the cheerful finale of "One
year closer to DEATH."
