That condemning sheet of paper — directed against faculty as much as students — handed out in one of the English classes, hasn't any logical foundation. I was doing some "hard thinking" down at The Hat last night and as I started to despair because of the deplorable state I was in, I remembered what my little ol' Granny said when her pappy locked her up in the out-house for cutting English class. As she watched the crabs jumping up six feet up in the fragrently scented air, she realized the horrifed condition she was in, and she said: "Obviously it is impossible to carry on an intellectual conversation with this group!" So then she sat down and proceeded to do some "long hard thinking."
