Michele in Jasper, Indiana says she doesn’t actually expect to see her digital camera again, “but I at least wanted to inflict some guilt on the person who took it.”

Don’t be fooled by the smiley: this is the kind of note that really throws you off balance. (It’s been more than a month since she received this note, and Kiki from Boston says she’s still shaking in her boots a little.)

Jimmy in Worcester brings this jaunty little note from the Lambda Chi Alpha House at WPI.

Just in case you needed another reason to pass on the Lambda Chis’ rush-week pancake breakfast…
