This was an assignment for comp. Friday’s Debate It is Friday night again. The weekend has arrived. A familiar debate is building in millions of households. Husbands and wives are sizing each other up, looking for signs of weakness, preparing to fight.

You would probably notice my quirky habits or we might talk about what brought us to CTC. I would possibly crack a joke and notice the lack of laughter if it was as bad as the majority of my attempts at humor. You would be able to decide at a moment whether our personalities would make us friends or simply acquaintances. So to make this easy on you, here ...
