Subject: College Thoughts >>> >>>-Taking an exam at school is easy. Figuring out the curve is the hard >>>part. I have no idea how the curve works. How do I get a 25 and get an A? How do >>>I get a 95 and get a C? Do you ever get the feeling that the "Curve" is >>>just one big conspiracy against you? Like before you got to class the >>>teacher and everybody else figured the exact mean and standard deviation >>>that would screw you the most? Those bastards. >>> >>>-The worst part about the curve is that my parents don't understand >>>it either. Like this conversation between my Dad and I: >>> Dad: So, how was your test? >>> Me: Pretty hard but everyone else thought it was hard too so the >>> curve might not be that bad. >>> Dad: Don't worry about anyone else but yourself. >>> Me: I know, but if everyone does badly, then I can still do well. >>> Dad: Why don't you just do better, are you on drugs? >>> Me: No Dad, its the curve, last test I got an A even though my test >>>grade was a 46 because of the curve. >>> Dad: You got a 46?? We're not sending you any more money." >>> Fuck me. >>> >>>-Of course the only way to beat the curve is to not take the test. How? >>>Make an excuse! I've heard some whoppers in my day, but here's one my >>>unnamed friend at UCLA used. He did no work for his accounting class >>>and got a D. So he told the department head that he had swollen testicles >>>the whole semester, was in a lot of pain, and was too embarrassed to tell >>>the teacher. He got the grade dropped! I love college. >>> -Everyone is always saying, "I go to bed so late, I don't sleep enough, >>>I have to catch up on my sleep." I get too much sleep. I'm sleeping all >>>the time. I have to set my alarm even to wake up at 4pm. Catch up on sleep? >>>I think I have to catch up on my 'awakeness' cause I have no clue what >>the hell goes on during the day. >>> >>>-Isn't this one of the greatest moments in college? You're wasted, >>>absolutely trashed. You go back to our room and you're kind of fucking >>>around when the phone rings. It's your best friend from home. And he's >>>wasted too!! You both scream for 25 minutes about how wasted you both >>>are and how you are going to visit each other at college and get wasted >>and how you're gonna get and how wasted you're gonna get over the summer. >>>Then you both pass out and don't remember you even spoke to each other. I >>>love college. >>> >>>-The one thing I'm psyched about leaving school for the summer is not >>>smelling like smoke all the time. Doesn't it seem like every single >>>person in college smokes cigarettes? I personally don't, but, inevitably, I >>>come home from a party (or anyplace else) and as soon as I pull my shirt >>over my head, there's that nasty smoke smell. Even my shoes smell like smoke. I >>>might as well fucking smoke. >>> >>>-The dry cleaners on campus here suck. They're the worst. I wear a pair >>>of khakis; I get some dirt on them, so I take them to the dry cleaners. >>You know what the guy says to me? "I don't know if we can get this out." >>>What the fuck do you mean you can't get this out? It's fucking dirt! What >>>purpose do you serve? I bring in dirty pants and you give me back pants >>>that are still dirty folded nicely on a hanger with a plastic bag? What >>>kind of bullshit is that? You're the fucking dry cleaners!! Get that >>>shit wet if you have to. >>> >>>-This past weekend was Spring Fling here at Penn- a three day party >>>where everyone gets wasted. It was fucking ridiculous. This is about all I >>>remember: kegs in every dorm room, a forty foot funnel in the >>stairwell, crowd surfing. I love college. >>> >>>-How about those kids in lecture who write down everything. Teacher >>puts something on the board, he writes it down. Teacher sneezes, kid makes a >>>note of it. The kid is writing shit when the teacher isn't even fucking >>>talking! And you're sitting there thinking, "should I be writing this >>>down?" >>> >>>-Well, freshman year is almost over and it was the best year of my >>life. You can sure learn a hell of a lot in one year! School is pretty >>>confusing, but I've come up with "Karo's Theory on College Life," here goes: >>> >>>There are four basic things to do in college: 1) Hang out with your >>boys (girls), 2) Hook up, 3) Get wasted, and 4) Do work. Problem is, you can >>>only accomplish 3 out of the 4 things at any one time. You can get >>drunk with your boys all the time and then go hook up, but you probably won't >>>do any work. You can get some work done, chill with your girlfriend and >>get wasted, but you'll never see your boys. So that's what college life is >>>all about, constantly striving to get all four. And when you do, >>>congratulations, you've graduated. >>> >>>I hope you enjoyed this. Note: this is NOT a chain letter. No >>>dishwasher in Indiana ever got fucked up the ass by a donkey because he didn't >>>forward this and neither will you. Some poor kid with 17 diseases is not going to die >>>because of you; you are not going to win a trip to Disney World for sending this; and >>>you should know that sending this around won't help you get laid. >>>If you would like to forward it, please do so.

A wife asks her husband, "Honey, if I died, would you remarry?" After a considerable period of grieving, I guess I would. We all need companionship." "If I died and you remarried," the wife asks, "would she live in this house?" "We've spent a lot of money getting this house just the way we want it. I'm not going to get rid of my house. I guess she would." "If I died and you remarried, and she lived in this house," the wife asks, "would she sleep in our bed?" "Well, the bed is brand new, and it cost us $2,000. It's going to last a long time, so I guess she would." "If I died and you remarried, and she lived in this house and slept in our bed, would she use my golf clubs?" "Oh, no," the husband replies. "She's left-handed."
Here's an Urban Legend that I've heard more than once: "...so there my friend was, sitting in his science class learning about how cells work. So the professor distributes toothpicks to each student and asks them to rub the toothpick on the inside of their cheeks and asks them to view the cheek cells underneath the microscope. The professor draws what the cell should look like on the blackboard. One girl in the class raises her hand and tells the professor that her cells don't look exactly like the diagram. The professor asks her to look again and explains the different variations of a cheek cell. She looks again, and still it seems to look much different. The frustrated professor comes over for a look himself. Astonished, he says, "my god these are sperms cells!" The girl storms out of the classroom with embarrassment

Confucious say: Man who run in front of car get tired. Man who run behind car get exhausted. Man who do it in strawberry patch will have ass in jam. Passionate kiss like spider web......soon lead to undoing of fly. Foolish man give wife grand piano. Wise man give wife upright organ. Man who walk through airport turnstile backwards going to Bangkok. Baseball wrong. Man with four balls not able to walk. Man who do it on bare ground will have piece on earth. Panties not best thing on earth, but next to it. War does not determine who right. War determine who left. Wife who put husband in dog house soon find him in cat house. Man who have hands in pockets is feeling cocky. It take many nail to build crib...but one screw to fill it. Man who drive like hell, bound to get there. Boy who go to bed with sexual problem wake up with solution in hand. Man who fish in other man's well often catch crabs.
You Know You Are Not In College When ... Shacking in a twin-sized bed seems absurd. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. Your potted plants stay alive. You have to pay your own credit card bill. You haven't seen a soap opera in over a year. 8:00a.m. is not early. You have to file for your own taxes. You hear your favorite song on the elevator at work. You're not carded anymore. You carry an umbrella. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook-up and break-up. You start watching the weather channel. Jeans and baseball caps aren't staples in your wardrobe. You can no longer take shots, and smoking gives you a sinus attack. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 7. You stop confusing 401K plan with 10K run. You go to parties that the police don't raid. Adults feel comfortable telling jokes about sex in front of you. You don't know what time Wendy's closes anymore. Your car insurance goes down. You refer to college students as kids. You drink wine, scotch and martinis instead of beer,bourbon,and rum. Your parents start making casual remarks about grandchildren. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of Taco Bell. You're waking up at 6 am instead of going to bed. College sweatshirts are 'casual' instead of dress up. Sleeping on the couch is a no-no. THEN: discussing with your friends: GPA's, spring break plans,and tonsil hockey NOW: discussing with your friends: mutual funds, interestrates, and wedding plans. Naps are no longer available between noon and 6 p.m. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one. You get your news from sources other than USA today, ESPN Sportscenter and MTV News. You find yourself reminiscing fondly of 2-hour Calculus exams. METABOLISM SLOWDOWN Wine appreciation expands beyond Boone's and Mad Dog. You actually eat breakfast foods at breakfast time. Grocery lists actually contain relatively healthy food. When drinking, you say at least once per night, 'I just can't put it down the same as I used to'. Over 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work, not video games. You're actually willing to pay a bit more to drink in a bar that's not full of '21-year-old kids.' Golf is beginning to seem a lot less silly.
So Valentine's Day is coming up and I promised my poem would circulate. Its kinda harsh, but hey, 4 years alone can make you a cynical person! Enjoy... Fuck Valentine's Day Hearts and roses and kisses galore... What the hell is all that shit for? People get mushy and start acting queer, It is definitely the most annoying day of the year. This day needs to get the hell over with and pass before I shove a dozen roses up Cupid's ass. I'll spend the day so drunk I can't speak, And wear all black for the rest of the week. Guys act all sweet, but it soon will fade, For all they are doing, is trying to get laid. The arrow Cupid shot at me, must not have hit, Because I think love is a crock of shit. So here's my story... what else can I say? Love bites my ass.... FUCK Valentine's Day!!

The Americans and the Japanese decided to engage in a competitive boat race. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance. On the big day they felt ready. The Japanese won by a mile. Afterward, the American team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged. Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem and recommended corrective action. The consultant's finding: The Japanese team had eight people rowing and one person steering; the American team had one person rowing and eight people steering. After a year of study and millions spent analyzing the problem, the consultant firm concluded that too many people were steering and not enough were rowing on the American team. So as race day neared again the following year, the American team's management structure was completely reorganized. The new structure: four steering managers, three area steering managers and a new performance review system for the person rowing the boat to provide work incentive. The next year, the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American corporation laid off the rower for poor performance and gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem....
