I had a dream last night that made me laugh this morning. Who steals TI-83 plus
calculators that don't have the graphing part?
Just a brief summation of the dream:
I working in a mom and pop's convenient store that was run by an older couple
in the town. I SUPPOSE I lived in a smallish town with one this being the only convenient
store called The Willis’. The store had an array of tools and decorative items upon
entrance of the store. Walking towards the back of the store you’d find manure,
rakes, shovels, sod, and other lawn and garden products. In the center of the
store, there was a counter that contained office supplies.
person that I knew quite well. I was shocked that he even came in let alone I
didn’t think he was even in town. This, I might say was the best unexpected
surprise. According to him, he heard that I was in town working at The Willis’
and wanted to stop by. Either way, I didn’t care how he got here I was just
happy to see him. I gave him huge hug and gave him a tour of the store. We were
talking and catching up when something caught his eye at the counter. He began
to approach the counter but before I could accompany him, my manager called me
into the backroom.
but I guess I can call him Mr. Willis. Mr. Willis was pleased to show me a
monitor that he has just installed in the backroom. He told me he set up 4
cameras; one in front of the store, one in the backroom, one behind the cash
register, and the last above the entrance of the front door. He was so excited
about his achievement; he didn’t know how to use it.
something like a script or a collection of words placed on paper that
instructed you to do certain things with these cameras. I don’t know, I think
it’s called a manual or something. Who knows,” I joked.

are like the defective TI-83 calculators without something… Hold on a sec!” I
pick up a pink calculator and began to press buttons. I snapped and said, “See!
That’s what it was. The graphing part, it doesn’t work. (Let out slight
laughter) Why would you want to steal these?He stopped for a second and slowly
lowered the bag and looked at me in amazement. He said, "Why don't they
have the graphing if it's a graphing calculator?"
