Greener on the Other Side

(at our mini econ TA reunion lunch today)

Jesse: Is the grass wet?  Should we sit in the shade?

Lisa: (sits down)  No, this isn't wet.

Moi: (I sit down)  I don't know, this feels damp... no, this is definitely wet.  (stand up)

Lisa: I think you were sitting in a puddle.

(later, after lunch, after we'd all sat in non-puddles for an hour)

Moi: I'm still pretty sure that this grass is damp.

Jesse: My butt feels wet. 

How many Harvard grads does it take to determine if the grass is wet or safe to sit on?  Definitely more than three.
