"These are all over the Oberlin College campus."

"You saw that Jalopnik article yesterday too, eh? ;)"

"Yeah, the more I think about this, the more I think that's the way to go."

"This came up in your Facebook feed, too, eh?"

"Last time I was down to Amish country, I saw this in one of the shops.https://www.amazon.com/Amish-Craftsman-Furniture-Childrens-Provincial/dp/B07JK8ZWKJ/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_75_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=6G1DXZ9EB15W7T872J1Z"
