Failure to Communicate
FOUND by Jed
in Dallas, Texas
I found this in the entry to my parking garage right next door to a Catholic elementary school. The thing that interests me the most is that the other person can't understand the poor girl whose ears hurt. Talk about frustrating.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Someone needs to visit Sister Mary, the school nurse. Poor thing.
i hope we get to see the other side later today.
i can just see two kids trying to mouth/lip read to one another in class and finally the reader is tired of it and just writes a note.
i wonder why her ear(s) hurt
seems like a running theme in the past several finds of people who could use a hug.
hope they're all feeling 'beeter.'
this girlfriend is feeling beeter but this one is not.
it's intruiging (<- ? apologies to spelling police!) how the writing on the opposite side is visible but not quite discernible... but the next one should be, must be, it.
ok, definite apologies to the duplicate posts' police. and Lars: thanks for the J.F. tip! he's nice. Obviously a Towneser (which is obviously a good thing).
suspended..maybe just don't look at the next find, k?
correction: one ear is feeling better. only one ear hurts. i love passing notes
mona: just don't look at this comment, k?
Okay - you know me, I just love that it's written on a flower power daisy -hot pink to boot !Pretty groovy find.
He wrote it and I STILL don't understand.
The other side says:
Blah, blah, blah,
I do blank I can’t
Hear? I check to see
Which one is better
And which one is
Not. If you don’t
Understand me I’ll
Tell you later
At your house.
OK!!!!!
oh... was it there already? not exactly frustrating, but rather confusing
The other side seems to say: « I do ... I can't hear? I check to see which one is better and which one is not. If you don't understand me, i'll tell you later at your house. OK!!!!!»
how lovely :)
oups! it was already there!
I like to pour hydrogen peroxide in my ear when it hurts, Maybe that will help. This is preety notepaper.
Wonder if the aching ears were caused by Sister Mary boxing them as punishment for passing notes?
Ear aches have to be one of the more painful maladies; hope kiddo feels better soon.
suspended, i just didnt want you to be too disappointed, when you looked at the next find, and found that it was not, in fact, the reverse of this one.
Now, is it your left or my left?
Tang: That's a cure for waxy buildup, but you need to dilute the peroxide first. Makes an awesome crackling noise as it works!
I hope someone understands this poor kid soon: Untreated earaches can lead to hearing loss. My cousin and I are living proof of that!
I'm sorry to hear that...I just hate when my ears feel "beeter"!
WHAT?
Mona, I was wondering about that. I also misread your post as directing Suspended to the next find for the answer. Then I saw the next find, and figured maybe salmonella or e. coli causes hearing loss. I guess as long as you don't puke out your ear, you're probably safe. I hear bile can be brutal on the eardrums (horrible pun not intended).
This looks like notes my mom and I used to write to each other in church. I would mime to her, and she wouldn't understand it so I would have to write her a note. But in my case, she would write back something funny, and I would try to snicker very quietly.
I hope this poor girl's ears feel better. It's no fun to have to sit through school with an ear ache. Maybe this girl was trying to tell her teacher that she wanted to go to the nurse when they were in the middle of an assembly.
It was a Catholic school. She did complain to the teacher, and was told, "Just offer it up to Jesus."
Take your choice, kiddo: Pain and martyrdom, or guilt.
@L - In a Catholic school, it was probably Sister Mary who boxed the kids' ears in the first place.
I used to have all kinds of cool "note passing worthy" paper like this.
I miss passing notes...
Does anyone wanna pass notes?
I always used to get in trouble for passing notes...
Crystal: I'm in.
<--This car is a beater
but this one is not.-->
@Crystal: I'm not much of a "note-passer", myself. I'm more of a "sit in the back trying to crack up my friends" type.
To: Monkeywrench
For Your Eyes Only!!!!!
I should be doing work. I'm going to get sooooo busted.
IDK.
TTYL
Crystal in Cracktown
@ ghost: Could you at least pass that note to Monkeywrench for me? That would be great.
thanks mona, it wasn't too disappointing, I hadn't even bothered making it out myself... I, for some (paranoid) reason read your comment as you being annoyed at my comments. sorry if I sounded annoyed back!
To: Crystal via Ghost
(All others will be cursed!!)
OMG me too! I'm sooo bored: Can't wait until lunch.
TTLY
Monkeywrench
Sure, Crystal. Give it here.
(Takes note from Crystal, reads it, and shaking head, tears up lame note, wadding it into pieces to shoot at Monkeywrench.)
To:Monkeywrench
(I've folded the note in the shape of a t-shirt)
Ghost never said he would pass these notes for us. Technically, we are throwing them at him and and running over to pick them up again. He might be mad aaaaaand I really want a slice of pizza. =)

~~~Crystal In Cracktown~~~~
If I had posted that just a few minutes sooner. It would have made more sense.
To:Ghost
Hello,
I've glued your notebook pages together and tied your shoe laces to each other! That note was IMPORTANT! Monkeywrench will never know what I said now.
XOXO
Crystal
I'm the lucky finder, and for those interested, the other side says:
do you know what I do when I can't hear? I check to see which one is better and which one is not. If you don't understand me I'll tell you later at your house.
OK!!!!!
This side is definitely the better of the two. It has the pretty pink flower on it.
To: Crystal
(I've folded the note up and colored it all pretty.)
Ohhh pizza! Yeah! I hope I get to sit at a table with a cute boy…
Ghost keeps throwing pieces of paper at me so I'm going to put a frog in his backpack.
Meet me by the swings L8R!
XOXO
-Monkeywrench
Pssst:Monkeywrench
I lost your note, sorry I had to write this on my math test! Which I failed! Ugh! If you are going to put a frog in Ghost's backpack you can just use the one he put in mine, I'll leave it in your desk. We should both find cute boys to sit with at lunch! =)
I'll see you at recess.
Sooo Tired,
Crystal
CrYsTaL:
(scribbled hastily on some sloppily folded notebook paper)
I think the frog you put on my desk escaped! I don't see him anywhere! Do you think the teacher will know it was us?? I bet Ghost will tell.
We should pass a note to the cute boys to see if they like us. We could do it anonymously! (I had that word on a spelling test last week.)
See you as soon as the bell rings!
Daydreaming,
MoNkEyWrEnCh.
You girls are lame and you have cooties. No boys will sit with you.
Ghosts do not "tell."
The lameness I will admit to, but cooties?! Nevah!
suspended - no harm, no foul.
Jed!! Thanks for checking in, and revealing to us the esoteric contents of the B side! While I agree that the side displayed here is the prettier side, we tend to bounce off the walls here when we can't decipher every barely-visible word on the reverse side of a Find! (well, Ok, maybe it's just me.)
Oh! nothing worse than not being able to hear. I hope the girl tells her parents hearing loss can be permanent.
Flargy,
I don't get your pun from this morning. Is "Bile" the name of one of those loud rock and roll musical groups you kids listen to?
What? I can't hear you. Hang on...(turning down the volume of Black Sabbath on the Hi-Fi.)
Oh my gosh! You guys! I just heard American Apparel is suing Found for libel, due to some of the comments on this board! Foundmagazine. com will be shutting down at the end of the week! I can't believe it. I even have American Apparel as one of my favorite websites! This is a sad, sad day.
(April Fool.)
Nightingale:
I HEAR it can be brutal on the eardrums.
I actually did see a band called Bile about 12 years ago at a club in New Haven called the Tune Inn (the club closed 6 years ago, and the building burned down this past December). If I remember correctly, they were pretty bad. I'd recommend sticking with Black Sabbath. Most of the heavy stuff the kids are listening to these days is utter garbage.
Flargy,
You and Jonathan could form a club called "Night Didn't Get My Joke, Either." But hey, I turned it around ok, didn't I?
Lucky guess.
I seem to notice more kids these days interested in the really great rock & roll from the 70s. Or maybe I just recognize the music. But I can't listen to ANYTHING as loud as I used to. Ha!
Hmm! I park in a garage right next to a Catholic elementary school in Dallas... wonder if it's the same one. Interesting. :)
