Hey, all you RHCP and KT Tunstall fans; see what I did there? Eh? If you don't, well, I just combined song lyrics. Nothing too special. Actually, what I came up with doesn't really make sense. Hey, but the words are all really short!
So my mom has a phone book open on her desk. The heading on page 224 is "GARBAGE, RUBBISH & TRASH." I wonder why the author didn't realize that these three words mean the same thing. Maybe it's his or her sense of humor forming a sliver of light escaping the doldrums of a phone-book-writing job. That was badly written, but you can rearrange it in your head to form a better sentence. I hate it when math textbook writers get lazy and state things like, "We leave it to you to show that blah blah blah is true." Ass; we're paying $85 for this book, so why can't you at least print the proof of that statement? If you know it's true, you obviously have the math to prove it. The harder the math courses, the more you get textbooks like this. So it goes.
In any case, I didn't get to what I intended to say in the first place. On that page, there's a random line of medium-sized text that says, "SAY NO TO DRUGS." First of all, did this really have to be on the page whose heading is "GARBAGE, RUBBISH & TRASH"? I think they just put the message there in order to make everything in the phonebook (all the advertisements and so on) line up nicely. Secondly, is this thing targeted at any specific audience? I wonder if there's some old law from 1983 or something that states that every phonebook must use the phrase "SAY NO TO DRUGS" every 105 pages or something.
I also find it odd that page 225 has the heading "GENETIC TESTING"...

Your lyrics make about as much sense as theirs.
They have all three words so when someone who only knows one of them, or is familiar with only one, scans the index, they see the word they're looking for. The Library of Congress doesn't do this, and look what we have: a mess. Try looking up "pigs". Do you know why you can't find any books about pigs? They're categorized under "swine".
hahahaha well, I didn't know that. That's actually pretty useful.
well, nevertheless, let us educated people laugh heartily at the ignorance of those who can't put those three words together.
ah hahh hahh hahhhhhh.
and that was the most key use of the phrase "So it goes" that I have ever seen. think of its deeper meaning.
uh huuuhhh.
