Just Outside My Window

The funny about this was the extremely matter-of-fact tone used by the young man, who I assume was taking care of his drunk friend:

“You need to find Brad and get him to take your ass home. Where is Brad?

Gay men like dancing, and boobs for that matter, so I myself am not entirely surprised that Brad was hanging out at a strip club.

Drunk girl 1: She's carrying a hairbrush in her purse! I can't believe you carry a hairbrush in your purse!
Drunk girl 2: Doesn't everybody carry a hairbrush in their purse?
Drunk girl 1: Not me!
Drunk girl 2: Well, what do you carry in your purse? A flask of vodka and a pregnancy test?

Linky-link-link to the page, completely with clever title I can take no credit for.

“The only thing I've done outside of class this semester is I went bowling last night.

“She grades us on bowling etiquette. It's no good. I get really mad when I don't do well and stomp around and yell and everything.

“If she's grading us solely based on bowling etiquette I have a problem.

“The other day I took off my shoe and threw it at somebody.”
