SLOW DOWN!

Imagine with me that you are walking to Jackson Hall to go to class. You approach the front door, open it, walk through and start heading up the stairs. Once you reach the top, you realize that you have dropped your pencil out of your hand, and you exclaim, "Oh no! I have dropped my pencil!" So, you reach down and pick it up. You have decided to put it in your backpack so that it doesn’t fall again, so you reach back to the left and realize that your bag is not on that side. You then reach back to the right, unzip your bag, put the pencil in and zip it back up. You then continue walking to class. As you’re walking down the hall, all of a sudden, a freshman guy bumps into you as he runs past. You stop and call to him, "SLOW DOWN!" Because of the exquisite reverberancy of Jackson Hall, you hear an echo back that is quieter but just as intense. You hear, "SLOW DOWN." He continues running, but you, entranced by what you hear, continue to speak. You say, "HELLO!" and it echos back, "HELLO." You continue by saying, "ECHO!" and you hear, "ECHO." By this time, you realize that you are getting very strange looks from everyone who is passing by, and you decide to stop what you are doing and go to class.
