Not a CIDU, but this reminds me of a classic New York City moment

curse

I had the feeling neither of them needed Google Translate.

Certainly she’s not old enough to have been TEACHING when mimeographs were being used.

mimeograph

(No Geezer tag here, of course, because Frazz explains the reference and it’s just a MacGuffin anyway)

Monday Morning… Arlo?
