Fine Print

I was going though my old files on my computer and i came across some of programs i made for my old improv team that we would hand out before the show. Occasionally i would fill the back side with a bunch of "fine print" when i didn't know what else to put there. For some reason i find fake legal disclaimers amusing. Here's the back from the first program i decorated with tiny text.

The team cannot be held responsible for jokes which are not funny. If you are not at least 34 inches tall, you may not be able to laugh at all the jokes. Sorry, no refunds after the first 3 minutes.

Sometimes I sneak into your room at night and watch you sleep. If you do not own a Macintosh computer, you will have to reboot your machine during intermission.
