Koohii Story 1 "The fortune teller tells me that in the future I will have my own quire. ""Is that choir as in 'group of singers', or quire as in 'sheets of paper'?"" I ask. She can't tell because her crystal ball is too misty, so I rush to the bathroom, grab a towel, and use it to wipe the crystal ball. Turns out to be quire as in 'sheets of paper', of course."
Koohii Story 2 "(25 sheets of paper) -- the fortune teller orders a quire of paper but receives a quire of towels. She calls to complain, but customer service tells her, ""Why didn't you see it coming?""."
