This was the ordinary world of Colin Mochrie. Until Monday May 22nd. He arrived at school at 7:45 but he saw no one in the halls. He thought he was later than normal but when he got to class no one was around. Not even in the other classes. He walked to the gym because there was obviously an assembly but no one was there either. So he sat in the commons and waited for everyone until 2:15. He had never been absent a day in his life and it wasn't going to start now.

Take the Stairs

This is for the  fat kids, This is for the 40 year olds making minimum.
This is for the drunks on welfare, this is for the beggars and a blank application.

This is for the dad who has never seen his kids. Take the stairs.

 This is for the kids thinking mommy and daddy will take care of them.

This is for those sticky pennies under the couch, this is for the procrastinators.

This is for the people that hate their jobs, this is for the "maybe one day". Take the stairs.

When life gets in your way and you're offered the escalator or the stairs take the stairs. And why? That escalator WILL stop any second and so will you. Take the stairs...... The fat kids need exercise anyways
