Subj: College
Dorm Pranks (S521b)
From: LABLaughsClean on 1/12/07
When I lived in a dorm, one of
the favorite intramural sports
was water fights. Dousing
and bombarding one another with
water from squirt guns, glasses,
balloons, even wastebaskets.
Since each room had a sink,
there was endless ammunition.
The most frequent target was
the Resident Assistant.
Approaching his room one afternoon,
he noticed his door was
ajar. Looking up, he saw
a pail of water balanced on the
door's edge, ready to fall on
him. As he took down the
pail and emptied it into his
sink, he thought, "Those crazy
guys actually thought they could
fool me with that old gag!"
It was then he realized it......
we'd removed the drainpipe
beneath the sink.

Subj: Do You
Know Who I Am? (S226, S655b)
From: thebartend on 5/31/2001
and
From: LABLaughsClean on 7/23/2009
(Also see "Student
Vs Professor" in College-Prof.)
It was the final examination
for an introductory English
course at the local university.
Like many such freshman
courses, it was designed to
weed out new students, having
over 700 students in the class!
The examination was two hours
long, and exam booklets were
provided. The professor
was very strict and told the class
that any exam that was not on
his desk in exactly two hours
would not be accepted and the
student would fail. 1/2 hour
into the exam, a student came
rushing in and asked the pro-
fessor for an exam booklet.
"You're not going to have time
to finish this," the professor
stated sarcastically as he
handed the student a booklet.
"Yes I will," replied the
student. He then took
a seat and began writing.
After two hours, the professor
called for the exams, and the
students filed up and handed
them in. All except the late
student, who continued writing.
1/2 hour later, the last
student came up to the professor
who was sitting at his desk
preparing for his next class.
He attempted to put his exam
on the stack of exam booklets
already there.
"No you don't, I'm not going
to accept that. It's late."
The student looked incredulous
and angry. "Do you know WHO
I am?" "No, as a matter of fact
I don't," replied the pro-
fessor with an air of sarcasm
in his voice.
"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" the student
asked again. "No, and
I don't care." replied the professor
with an air of
superiority.
"Good," replied the student,
who quickly lifted the stack
of completed exams, stuffed
his in the middle, and walked
out of the room.

Subj: The
Class Of 2005 (S318b)
From: gheckman on 2/18/2003
Just in case you weren't feeling
old enough today, this
will certainly change things.
Each year the staff at
Beloit College in Wisconsin
puts together a list to try
to give the Faculty a sense
of the mindset of this year's
incoming freshman.
Here is this year's list:
The people who are starting college
this fall across the
nation were born in 1983.
They have no meaningful recollection
of the Reagan Era
and probably did not know he
had ever been shot.
They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged.
There has been only one Pope in their lifetime.
They were 10 when the Soviet
Union broke apart and
do not remember the Cold War.
They are too young to remember
the Challenger space
shuttle blowing up.
Tiananmen Square means nothing to them.
Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.
Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums.
The statement "You sound like
a broken record"
means nothing to them.
They have never owned a record player.
They have likely never played
Pac Man and
have never heard of Pong.
They may have never heard of
an 8 track. The Compact
Disc was introduced when they
were 1 year old.
They have always had an answering machine.
Most have never seen a TV set
with only 13 channels,
nor have they seen a black and
white TV.
They have always had cable.
There have always been VCRs,
but
they have no idea what BETA
was.
They cannot fathom not having a remote control.
They don't know what a cloth
baby diaper is, or know
about the "Help me, I've fallen
and I can't get up"
commercial.
Feeling old Yet? There's more:
They were born the year that Walkmen were introduced by Sony.
Roller skating has always meant inline for them.
Michael Jackson has always been white.
Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.
They have no idea when or why Jordache jeans were cool.
Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.
They have never seen Larry Bird play.
They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.
The Vietnam War is as ancient
history to them
as W.W.I, W.W.II and the Civil
War.
They have no idea that Americans
were ever held hostage
in Iran.
They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.
They don't know who Mork was
or where he was from.
(The correct answer, by the
way, is Ork)
They never heard: "Where's the
beef?", "I'd walk a mile
for a Camel," or "De plane,
de plane!"
They do not care who shot J.R.
and have no idea
who J.R. was.
Kansas, Chicago, Boston, America,
and Alabama are places,
not bands.
There has always been MTV.
They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.
Do you feel old yet? If
you do, then pass this on to
some other 20 old fogies...
but don't send it back to me,
I feel old enough.

Subj: Cakes
And Ale During Exams (S154)
From: KMacinty on 01/13/2000
This is purported to be a true
story someone found regarding
exams at Cambridge University.
It seems that during an
examination, a bright young
student popped up and asked the
proctor to bring him Cakes
and Ale. The following dialog
ensued:
Proctor: I beg your pardon?
Student: Sir, I request that you bring me Cakes and Ale.
Proctor: Sorry, no.
Student: Sir, I really must insist.
I request and require
that you bring me Cakes and
Ale.
At this point, the student produced
a copy of the four-
hundred-year-old Laws of Cambridge,
written in Latin and
still nominally in effect, and
pointed to the section which
read (roughly translated): "Gentlemen
sitting examinations
may request and require Cakes
and Ale." Pepsi and hamburgers
were judged the modern equivalent,
and the student sat there,
writing his examination and
happily slurping away.
Three weeks later, the student
was fined five pounds for not
wearing a sword to the examination.

Subj: Artie
Schmitz's Guide To Studying In College (S137)
From: JOKE-OF-THE-DAY.com on 9/1/99
Artie Schmitz attended Harvard
for a year before professors
realized he wasn't enrolled
in the school. Since then, he
has transferred from one college
to another. Currently, he
is an eighth-year junior at
Florida's renowned Dade County
Community College. From
there he writes to us, giving fuzzy,
unsound advice on how to succeed
in college if you absolutely
don't want to succeed. So, here
it goes:
1. The secret to taking good
notes is taking them from
someone who
goes to class.
2. Cliff Notes do not give
you the same experience of
reading the
book, which is why you should read
Cliff Notes.
3. Cheaters never win, but
if they copy from the right
people they
could tie with the best.
4. Just because they call them
Work/Study Jobs, doesn't
mean you
have to do either one.
5. Never wait to the last minute
to start a paper - get
an extension.
6. If you're going to cram
the night before the test,
make sure
you cram everything onto a piece of paper
you can fit
into your sleeve.
7. Never judge a book by its
cover. Save your opinion
until you
read the back of the book.
8. In case you need an excuse
for missing an important
exam, explain
that you didn't know about the, "Beer
before liquor,"
rule.
9. On essay questions, write
long and sloppy. Professors
have many
papers to grade, and tons of jibberish will
always get
a passing grade.
10. Don't be concerned about
failing. The only people
concerned
about your GPA are employers.

Subj: Speech
By Charlton Heston at Harvard (S112)
From: Tom_Adams on 3/15/99
"Winning The Cultural War" by
Charlton Heston
Harvard Law School Forum on
Tuesday, 16 February 1999
I remember my son when he was
five, explaining to his
kindergarten class what his
father did for a living.
"My Daddy," he said, "pretends
to be people."
There have been quite a few of
them. Prophets from the
Old and New Testaments, a couple
of Christian saints,
generals of various nationalities
and different centuries,
several kings, three American
presidents, a French cardinal
and two geniuses, including
Michelangelo. If you want the
ceiling re-painted I'll do my
best. There always seem
to be a lot of different fellows
up here. I'm never sure
which one of them gets to talk.
Right now, I guess I'm the
guy.
As I pondered our visit tonight
it struck me: If my Creator
gave me the gift to connect
you with the hearts and minds of
those great men, then I want
to use that same gift now to
re-connect you with your own
sense of liberty ... your own
freedom of thought ... your
own compass for what is right.
Dedicating the memorial at Gettysburg,
Abraham Lincoln said
of America, "We are now engaged
in a great Civil War, testing
whether this nation or any nation
so conceived and so
dedicated can long endure."
Those words are true again.
I believe that we are again
engaged in a great civil war,
a cultural war that's about to
hijack your birthright to think
and say what resides in your
heart. I fear you no longer
trust the pulsing lifeblood of
liberty inside you ... the stuff
that made this country rise
from wilderness into the miracle
that it is.
Let me back up. About a
year ago I became president of the
National Rifle Association,
which protects the right to keep
and bear arms. I ran for
office, I was elected, and now I
serve ... I serve as a moving
target for the media who've
called me everything from "ridiculous"
and "duped" to a
"brain-injured, senile, crazy
old man." I know ... I'm
pretty old...but I sure Lord
ain't senile.
As I have stood in the crosshairs
of those who target
Second Amendment freedoms, I've
realized that firearms are
not the only issues. No,
it's much, much bigger than that.
I've come to understand that
a cultural war is raging across
our Land, in which, with Orwellian
fervor, certain
acceptable thoughts and speech
are mandated.
For example, I marched for civil
rights with Dr. King in
1963 --Long before Hollywood
found it fashionable. But
when I told an audience last
year that white pride is just
as valid as black pride or red
pride or anyone else's pride,
they called me a racist.
I've worked with brilliantly
talented homosexuals all my
life. But when I told an
audience that gay rights should
extend no further than your
rights or my rights, I was called
a homophobe. I served in
World War II against the Axis
powers. But during a speech,
when I drew an analogy between
singling out innocent Jews
and singling out innocent gun
owners, I was called an anti-
Semite.
Everyone I know knows I would
never raise a closed fist
against my country. But
when I asked an audience to oppose
this cultural persecution, I
was compared to Timothy McVeigh.
From Time magazine to friends
and colleagues, they're
essentially saying, "Chuck,
how dare you speak your mind.
You are using language not authorized
for public consumption!"
But I am not afraid. If
Americans believed in political
correctness, we'd still be King
George's boys-subjects bound
to the British crown.
In his book, "The End of Sanity,"
Martin Gross writes that "Blatantly
irrational behavior is
rapidly being established as
the norm in almost every area
of human endeavor. There
seem to be new customs, new rules,
and new anti-intellectual theories
regularly foisted on us
from every direction.
Underneath, the nation is roiling.
Americans know something without
a name is undermining the
nation, turning the mind mushy
when it comes to separating
truth from falsehood and right
from wrong. And they don't
like it."
Let me read a few examples.
At Antioch college in Ohio, young
men seeking intimacy with
a coed must get verbal permission
at each step of the
process from kissing to petting
to final copulation ... all
clearly spelled out in a printed
college directive.
In New Jersey, despite the death
of several patients
nationwide who had been infected
by dentists who had
concealed their AIDs --- the
state commissioner announced
that health providers who are
HIV-positive need not... need
not... tell their patients that
they are infected.
At William and Mary, students
tried to change the name of
the school team "The Tribe"
because it was supposedly
insulting to local Indians,
only to learn that authentic
Virginia chiefs truly like the
name.
In San Francisco, city fathers
passed an ordinance protecting
the rights of transvestites
to cross-dress on the job, and
for transsexuals to have separate
toilet facilities while
undergoing sex change surgery.
In New York City, kids who don't
speak a word of Spanish
have been placed in bilingual
classes to learn their three
R's in Spanish solely because
their last names sound Hispanic.
At the University of Pennsylvania,
in a state where thousands
died at Gettysburg opposing
slavery, the president of that
college officially set up segregated
dormitory space for
black students.
Yeah, I know ... that's out of
bounds now. Dr. King said
"Negroes." Jimmy Baldwin
and most of us on the March said,
"black." But it's a no-no
now. For me, hyphenated
identities are awkward ... particularly
"Native-American."
I'm a Native American, for God's
sake. I also happen to
be a blood-initiated brother
of the Miniconjou Sioux. On
my wife's side, my grandson
is a thirteenth generation
native American... with a capital
letter on "American."
Finally, just last month... David
Howard, head of the
Washington D.C. Office of Public
Advocate, used the word
"niggardly" while talking to
colleagues about budgetary
matters. Of course, "niggardly"
means stingy or scanty.
But within days Howard was forced
to publicly apologize
and resign. As columnist
Tony Snow wrote: "David Howard
got fired because some people
in public employ were
morons who (a) didn't know the
meaning of niggardly,' (b)
didn't know how to use a dictionary
to discover the
meaning, and (c) actually demanded
that he apologize for
their ignorance."
What does all of this mean?
It means that telling us
what to think has evolved into
telling us what to say,
so telling us what to do can't
be far behind. Before
you claim to be a champion of
free thought, tell me:
Why did political correctness
originate on America's
campuses? And why do you
continue to tolerate it? Why
do you, who're supposed to debate
ideas, surrender to
their suppression?
Let's be honest. Who here thinks
your professors can say what
they really believe? It
scares me to death, and should
scare you too, that the
superstition of political correctness
rules the halls
of reason.
You are the best and the brightest.
You, here in the
fertile cradle of American academia,
here in the castle
of learning on the Charles River,
you are the cream.
But I submit that you, and your
counterparts across
the land, are the most socially
conformed and politically
silenced generation since Concord
Bridge. And as long as
you validate that... and abide
it... you are - by your
grandfathers' standards - cowards.
Here's another example.
Right now at more than one major
university, Second Amendment
scholars and researchers are
being told to shut up about
their findings or they'll
lose their jobs. Why?
Because their research findings
would undermine big-city mayor's
pending lawsuits that
seek to extort hundreds of millions
of dollars from
firearm manufacturers.
I don't care what you think about
guns. But if you are not
shocked at that, I am shocked at
you. Who will guard the
raw material of unfettered ideas,
if not you? Who will defend
the core value of academia,
if you supposed soldiers of
free thought and expression
lay down your arms and plead,
"Don't shoot me."?
If you talk about race, it does
not make you a racist. If
you see distinctions between
the genders, it does not make
you a sexist. If you think
critically about a denomination,
it does not make you anti-religion.
If you accept but don't
celebrate homosexuality, it
does not make you a homophobe.
Don't let America's universities
continue to serve as
incubators for this rampant
epidemic of new McCarthyism.
But what can you do? How can
anyone prevail against such
pervasive social subjugation?
The answer's been here all
along. I learned it 36
years ago, on the steps of the
Lincoln Memorial in Washington
D.C., standing with Dr.
Martin Luther King and two hundred
thousand people.
You simply ... disobey.
Peaceably, yes. Respectfully, of
course. Nonviolently,
absolutely. But when told how to
think or what to say or howto
behave, we don't. We
disobey social protocol that
stifles and stigmatizes
personal freedom. I learned
the awesome power of
disobedience from Dr. King...
who learned it from Gandhi,
and Thoreau, and Jesus, and
every other great man who
led those in the right against
those with the might.
Disobedience is in our DNA.
We feel innate kinship with
that Disobedient spirit that
tossed tea into Boston Harbor,
that sent Thoreau to jail, that
refused to sit in the
back of the bus, that protested
a war in Vietnam. In that
same spirit, I am asking you
to disavow cultural correct-
ness with massive disobedience
of rogue authority, social
directives and onerous law that
weaken personal freedom.
But be careful ... it hurts.
Disobedience demands that you
put yourself at risk.
Dr. King stood on lots of balconies.
You must be willing to be humiliated...
to endure the
modern-day equivalent of the
police dogs at Montgomery and
the water cannons at Selma.
You must be willing to
experience discomfort.
I'm not complaining, but my own
decades of social activism have
taken their toll on me.
Let me tell you a story.
A few years back I heard about
a rapper named Ice-T who was
selling a CD called "Cop
Killer" celebrating ambushing
and murdering police
officers. It was being
marketed by none other than
Time/Warner, the biggest entertainment
conglomerate
in the world. Police across
the country were outraged.
Rightfully so - at least one
had been murdered. But
Time/Warner was stonewalling
because the CD was a cash
cow for them, and the media
were tiptoeing around it
because the rapper was black.
I heard Time/Warner had
a stockholders meeting scheduled
in Beverly Hills. I
owned some shares at the time,
so I decided to attend.
What I did there was against
the advice of my family and
colleagues I asked for the floor.
To a hushed room of a
thousand average American stockholders,
I simply read
the full lyrics of "Cop Killer"
- every vicious, vulgar,
instructional word.
"I GOT MY 12 GAUGE SAWED OFF
I GOT MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF
I'M ABOUT TO BUST SOME SHOTS
OFF
I'M ABOUT TO DUST SOME COPS
OFF..."
It got worse, a lot worse.
I won't read the rest of it
to you. But trust me,
the room was a sea of shocked,
frozen, blanched faces.
The Time/Warner executives
squirmed in their chairs and
stared at their shoes. They
hated me for that. Then
I delivered another volley of
sick lyric brimming with racist
filth, where Ice-T
fantasizes about sodomizing
two 12-year old nieces of
Al and Tipper Gore. "SHE PUSHED
HER BUTT AGAINST MY ... ."
Well, I won't do to you here
what I did to them. Let's
just say I left the room in
echoing silence. When I read
the lyrics to the waiting press
corps, one of them said
"We can't print that." "I know,"
I replied, "but
Time/Warner's selling it."
Two months later, Time/Warner
terminated Ice-T's contract.
I'll never be offered
another film by Warners, or
get a good review from Time
magazine. But disobedience
means you must be willing to
act, not just talk.
When a mugger sues his elderly
victim for defending
herself... jam the switchboard
of the district attorney's
office. When your university
is pressured to lower
standards until 80% of the students
graduate with honors...
choke the halls of the board
of regents. When an 8-year-
old boy pecks a girl's cheek
on the playground and gets
hauled into court for sexual
harassment... march on that
school and block its doorways.
When someone you elected is seduced
by political power and
betrays you... petition them,
oust them, banish them.
When Time magazine's cover portrays
millennium nuts as
deranged, Crazy Christians holding
a cross as it did last
month... boycott their magazine
and the products it
advertises.
So that this nation may long
endure, I urge you to follow
in the hallowed footsteps of
the great disobedience's of
history that freed exiles, founded
religions, defeated
tyrants, and yes, in the hands
of an aroused rabble in
arms and a few great men, by
God's grace, built this
country. If Dr. King were
here, I think he would agree.
Thank you

Biology Class (S90, S570b)

Mr. Perkins, the biology instructor
at a posh suburban girl's
junior college, said during
class, "Miss Smythe, would you
please name the organ of the
human body, which under the
appropriate conditions, expands
to six times its normal size,
and define the conditions."
Miss Smythe gasped, then said
freezingly, "Mr. Perkins, I
don't think that is a proper
question to ask me. I assure
you my parents will hear of
this." With that she sat down
red-faced.
Unperturbed, Mr. Perkins called
on Miss Johnson and asked
the same question. Miss
Johnson, with composure, replied,
"The pupil of the eye, in dim
light." "Correct," said Mr.
Perkins.
"And now, Miss Smythe, I have
three things to say to you.
"One, you have not studied your

you will some day be faced with
a dreadful disappointment."

Subj: Homespun
Couple Visit Harvard President (S87)
From: RFSlick on 98-09-27
The President of Harvard made
a mistake by prejudging people
and it cost him dearly.
A lady in a faded gingham dress and
her husband, dressed in a homespun
threadbare suit, stepped
off the train in Boston, and
walked timidly without an
appointment into the president's
outer office. The secretary
could tell in a moment that
such backwoods, country hicks had
no business at Harvard and probably
didn't even deserve to be
in Cambridge. She frowned.
"We want to see the president,"
the man said softly. "He'll
be busy all day," the secretary
snapped. "We'll wait,"
the lady replied. For hours, the
secretary ignored them, hoping
that the couple would finally
become discouraged and go away.
They didn't. The secretary
grew frustrated and finally
decided to disturb the president,
even thought it was a chore
she always regretted to do.
"Maybe if they just see you
for a few minutes, they'll leave,"
she told him. He sighed
in exasperation and nodded.
Someone of his importance obviously
didn't have the time to
spend with them. He detested
gingham dresses and homespun
suits cluttering up his outer
office. The president, stern-
faced with dignity, strutted
toward the couple. The lady
told him, "We had a son that
attended Harvard for one year.
He loved Harvard. He was
happy here. About a year ago, he
was accidentally killed.
My husband and I would like to
erect a memorial to him, somewhere
on campus." The president
wasn't touched he was shocked.
"Madam," he said gruffly,
"We can't put up a statue for
every person who attended
Harvard and died. If we
did, this place would look like a
cemetery." "Oh, no," the
lady explained quickly, "We don't
want to erect a statue.
We thought we would like to give a
building to Harvard. The
president rolled his eyes. He
glanced at the gingham dress
and homespun suit, then
exclaimed, "A building!
Do you have any earthly idea how
much a building costs?
We have over seven and a half
million dollars in the physical
plant at Harvard."
For a moment the lady was silent.
The president was
pleased. He could get
rid of them now. And the lady
turned to her husband and said
quietly, "Is that all is
costs to start a University?
Why don't we just start our
own?" Her husband nodded.
The president's face wilted
in confusion and bewilderment.
Mr. and Mrs. Leland
Stanford walked away, traveling
to Palo Alto, California
where they established the University
that bears their
name, a memorial to a son that
Harvard no longer cared
about.

it were written
by college students:
10. Last Supper would have been
eaten the next morning
- cold.
9. The Ten Commandments are
actually only five,
double-spaced, and written in a large font.

in order to limit reselling.
7. Forbidden fruit would have
been eaten
because it
wasn't cafeteria food.
6. Paul's letter to the Romans
becomes Paul's e-mail

5. Reason Cain killed Abel:

of the world occurs:
Finals, not
Armageddon.
3. Out go the mules, in come
the mountain bikes
2. Reason why Moses and followers
walked in desert for
40 years: They didn't want to ask directions and
look like Freshmen.
1. Instead of God creating
the world in six days and
resting on the seventh, He would have put it off
until the night before it was due and then pulled
an all-nighter.

majors at U.S. colleges are
opting not to take programming
jobs after they graduate.

Takes College Final (S293)
From: coreymac on 9/10/2002
The blonde reported for her
university final examination
that consists of "yes/no" type
questions. She takes her
seat in the examination hall,
stares at the question paper
for five minutes, and then in
a fit of inspiration takes
her purse out, removes a coin
and starts tossing the coin
and marking the answer sheet
"Yes" for Heads and "No" for
Tails. Within half an hour she
is all done, whereas the
rest of the class is sweating
it out.
During the last few minutes,
she is seen desperately
throwing the coin, muttering
and sweating. The moderator,
alarmed, approaches her and
asks what is going on. "I
finished the exam in half an
hour, but I'm rechecking my
answers."
