“I’m sorry… but has Brad ever been outside?” said Dmetri Sheridan ’22, who was flummoxed by his classmate’s attempt to peddle easily-obtainable objects on Facebook. “Why would anyone buy a plant when they can go outside and have a million plants without spending any money? What an incredibly stupid thing to do.”

“Does he not know where plants come from?” Sheridan continued, incredulous when he saw that a single hanging plant was priced at $15 in Williams’ post. “They grow outside, and there are so many of them. If I want plants, I would much rather take a look in my yard than set myself back fifteen bucks.”

“I don’t get it. Is it a joke?” Sheridan wondered aloud, repeatedly looking back and forth from the Facebook post to the view outside his window to make sure he wasn’t missing anything. “There’s plants right there. I could stand up right now and go grab one, two, however many I want. Does Brad know about this?”


At press time, Williams was paying his utilities bill every month like water and fire are not easily accessible elements.
