Getting lunch

  • Classmate from morning class:

    Hey, why are you always smiling at random people?

  • Me:

    I like smiling, it;s fun to do.

  • Classmate:

    Is that the only reason, or is there something that always keeps you in a good mood, I'm curious, I wanna do what you do to be happy.

  • Me:

    I smile even when I'm annoyed or angry because it always puts me in a better mood, and because there's a chance that someone that I walk by during the day needs to be smiled at, it could change their day for the better.

Rape has become endemic in South Africa, so a medical technician named Sonette Ehlers developed a product that immediately gathered national attention there. Ehlers had never forgotten a rape victim telling her forlornly, “If only I had teeth down there.

Some time afterward, a man came into the hospital where Ehlers works in excruciating pain because his penis was stuck in his pants zipper.

Ehlers merged those images and came up with a product she called Rapex. It resembles a tube, with barbs inside. The woman inserts it like a tampon, with an applicator, and any man who tries to rape the woman impales himself on the barbs and must go to an emergency room to have the Rapex removed.

When critics complained that it was a medieval punishment, Ehlers replied tersely, “A medieval device for a medieval deed.”
