I also thought the first thing people did in the morning was get dressed. I was wrong about that too.
I never met any papergirls, so no offense meant.

I love everyone's stories. What a good idea for an interesting and enjoyable thread. I hope the
Daily Sun picks up on this thread and turns it into a feature story.
Did you know that 'paperboy' is now slang for someone who reads paper books instead of ebooks?
