I’m amazed there are any new ones left… you have to admit, it’s a pretty unmissable target (and there’s a lot of filthy-minded sports fans out there. Like, ninety-nine percent of them.)

Oh, we were some of the worst

There are some T-shirts and bumper stickers I saw in school bookstores that I would never share in mixed company

I can imagine… the humour of my alma mater tends more to self-deprecation. What else can you do when you routinely finish in the same territory as the military academies on the ‘where not to go if you want to party’ lists?
