and the funny thing is

Washing the dishes the evening after eating dinner with Debbie, she starts laughing hilariously. I don't exactly know why, but she does. I think one of the reasons is because the note she wrote on the board that states:

My Experiment...

Noodles with peanut sauce and chicken.

• kinda spicy
• very out of the ordinary
• eat at your own risk! 

but you are welcome to eat it,

IF YOU DARE. *>:)

-Debbie

(then I added) P.S.: the only reason Jac is still alive is because she did not eat any of it, only smelled it.  She says it smells good.

THEN after we're done washing the dishes, we decide to go to Staples. It's like 8 o'clock-ish and I'm pretty sure they're just about to close. Debbie doesn't think so. So we decide to go out the "front way" because it's closer, only to find that a guy is PAINTING the floor. 

can you say wtf? yes, I know.

So the guy tells us to go around, in poorly spoken English, of course. So we're like, oh, okay well take this opportunity to "explore" and find the "third pool".

btw, we found the third pool. 

What we didn't find was an exit.

We get to Staples, and sure enough, it's closed. So we walked around shops for a while and then went to Starbucks.

Overall, what was the "and the funny thing is?"

I'm not exactly sure, that's for you to decide.
