Despite the benefits of high school yearbooks that I wrote about yesterday, one awkward situation sometimes arises. A friend remembered someone who asked her to sign her yearbook. "Why does she want me to sign her yearbook?" my friend thought. "We've never gotten along all that well." Stuck for what to write, she spotted an "Elect Steve Jenkins" campaign poster nearby. She wrote, "Elect Steve Jenkins," in the other girl's yearbook and handed it back to her. Shortly after reading it, the girl confronted her. "Why did you write, 'Elect Steve Jenkins?!'" she demanded. "What do you have against me? What's wrong with you?!"
I still contend that, more often than not, it's fun to sign other people's yearbooks. Every now and then, however...
