Problem: One overhears the most fascinating ( and hilarious ) things on campus . In this case , I was on campus yesterday morning for a faculty meeting / book rep flogging . I happened to be early , so I wandered over to the caf to load up on caffeine .

What did I order at the cafe ?

A: I probably ordered a cup of black coffee .

Problem: I had a big case of birthday blues yesterday , did n't want to celebrateat all , but I must admit I enjoyed my phone bleeping constantly . Andthe evening actually turned out to be fun . I ended up having a teawith a friend at Noobai after work , and on our way there we hadpassed this sushi restaurant where you pay 10 euros and can it all youwant . And I had felt like sushi for ages , so we eventually had dinnerthere .

What are Birthday Blues ?

A: It means you are feeling older and unloved and do n't want to think about getting older .

Problem: The kids were relentless in their heckling and gave the poor bastard no mercy . I thought for sure that we were going to suffer the same pain but as soon as we started all that worry went away . They really enjoyed us and our show was very tight and it went great . We did a combination of the illusions and tricks as well as the sideshow stuff .

What would have changed if the kids had chosen to heckle the speaker and their friends

A:
They would have felt less confident about their performance and it would have made them uneasy
