Discourses
The two different discourses that are present are a dumb blonde in a library and how she relates to acting in a library. She orders food and then when she is told that she is in a library she remembers that she is to act differently by whispering. This discourse creates humor and shows us all that things are not always as they seem.

What were you taught NEVER to do as a writer?
As a writer I was taught to never start a sentence with a conjunction. And or but? Well why can't I start a sentence with those two words? God made those words for me to use. And I want to use them. See that works. But, I don't want to sound like I am uneducated. I don't see why these rules were so imperative to follow. When you start your sentence with a conjunction you can add a dramatic feeling to your words. But, I wouldn't start sentences with and or but too much. You don't want to sound like a continuously run on sentence. I think the rule is a give and take. Don't take too much and give a little.
