Smoother than smooth

It's awfully hard to concentrate on the prof discussing "Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals" when the girl behind you keeps filing her damn nails during class. I felt like grabbing her little Emery board and snapping it in half. At least I don't have to hear it while I do my research. I'm writing my first paper on The International Campaign to Ban Landmines and their successful efforts to get over 130 countries to sign a treaty agreeing to never allow these left-over weapons to be used again. Maintaining that commitment through all countries may not be easy, but it was such a monumental success that it garnered this loosely-structured organization the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize. I don't like writing papers, but I'm looking forward to this one, a little.

the morality of filing one's nails during class is directly proportional to the cosign of the tangent of pi three degrees left of sundown in March of 1919 in Siberia
