"Once upon a time . . . ."

We all have stories to tell. And most of us love to share them.  Even the quick sharing of a sentence or two in the hallway is, in essence, a story.  This compulsion to share, and our ability to construct a story, is part of what makes us human, some have argued.  Considering this "biology" and the thousands of stories you have already told, tell us one of your favorite stories.  In a quick 1-2 paragraph entry, share a story you're fond of telling.
