Elementary | No Walking On The Grass

ChinesePod LLC
About this episode

Contrary to everything you thought you understood about the world up until now, no, grass is not made for walking on, rolling down, dog-frolicking, pant-knee-staining, smelling, or any other such frivolities. Though your laundress may be glad, your walk in the park may never be the same. Listen to this podcast, a whistle-blowing on those who dare to not 'keep off the grass.'
