The Rec Center Has Play-Doh

The rec center at my college has this little bar where they sell the cheapest food on campus. Last Friday I got a hot dog, potato chips, a soda and a chocolate bar for four bucks. It also lets you sign out games like chess, Apples to Apples and Cranium, if you have a student ID. Best place on campus, I think - it's a shame it's only open until 1PM. It has this one cup of red Play-Doh that you can also sign out, that was probably put there as a bit of a laugh. 
This afternoon, though, I became the first student to sign out and play with it. Instant conversation starter - I met a freshman my age and we hung out for a while. 
When I returned my "sculpture," the guy at the desk took it and looked at it. 
"It's beautiful." Pause. "What is it?"
"I don't really know."
Him: "That's good enough for me. It's beautiful. I'm putting it right here for the rest of the day."
Me: "Thank you. You may be seeing me again in a few days."
