16 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1989 THE RICE THRESHER
I missed the drop deadline Misclass
Overheard at the Olive Garden:
"If it's nine inches, it is a meal."
Overheard at Baker 9th entrance:
"I just saw this bra flying by..."
Well, Mom, it goes like this...
Referring to the CK last night
"1 know the average American eats a
pound of dirt ayear, but 1 didn't think
it was all at once..."
"Eureka" is Greek for This bath is
too hot"
—Doctor Who
"You mean you don't like them
rarer
—CK director, Bill Boroom, upon
seeing a raw hamburger at WRC,
according to a CK employee
Get a life, Bill.
Overheard at Brown before NOD:
"Can 1 starch your crotch?"
Of all men, 80% masturbate and 20%
are liars.
The RPC Presents
After 40 years, Wiess still sucks!
"A ten year subscription to
Playboy-what else can a man want?"
—Dr. Piper, English 251
From the Home Office, Where the
Missing Money From CKis Used to
Play a Real Game of Monopoly (It's
Bill's roll!)...
The Top Ten Reasons Why Rice
Needs the New Music Building...
10. Have you heard those Shepherd
School singers practice?
9. More windows for Club 13, fewer
field s for the other 95% of the student
body.
8. Yet another occasion to catch
Rupp posing for a picture.
Smile, Georgie.
7. Future sight of a Geraldo Rivera
Christmas Special.
6. Place to congregate during
halftime that's at least as interesting
as the student section.
5. So math labbies in Herman Brown
will stop humming while they work.
4. To make the new bioscience build-
ing look good, with its gaudy other
sallyport
3. A place for Stebbings to practice
his "air guitar."
2. To have a place on campus un-
touched by the graft, corruption,
and, all in all, bad taste of CK.
And the number one reason why
Rice needs the new music building:
1. To move the music majors as far
away from the other students as
possible, especially considering that
on average the football team has
better SATs.
Overheard in POLI212:
"It is pretty bad when your alcohol
content is higher than your Grade
Point Average."
"Okay, how many people in here can
tell me they haven't had a wet
dream?"
—Dr. Huberman, RICH 329
Overheard in PHYS 311:
"Now, we wanted to find the relation-
ship between S and M."
Well, Mom, it goes like this...
Overheard at Brown:
"I am good at catching things with
my tongue."
"I'm not into lotions.
Thresher editor
An acid is a lot like a woman:
a good one will eat right through
your pants.
"I came into a large sum of money."
—a sperm donor
Q: What did you say about modera-
tion?
A It's best in large amounts.
"I like every bone
body-especially mine."
in your
"Even if you win a rat race, you are
still a rat"
—Prof. Martin, SO CI 203
Overheard outside the Wiess Com-
mons Friday morning:
"I never knew Wiess had so many
dicks."
Lovett! Lovett! Lovett Sucks!

Overheard from a freshman at Sid:
There's always time to stick it in
on the way out"
"It wiggles real fast"
—Dr. Stephen Baker, PHYS 101
Q: What's the latest pick-up line
among Promulgator staff members?
A: Can I push in your stool?
Overheard at Cloud 9 rehearsals:
"You can't separate fucking and eco-
nomics."
That's why I turned Mana Stud.
Sidget comment of the week:
"I can't help it—I have the attention
span of a newt"
And that's pushing it.
Seen on the way to the Pub—one
Lovett female and six rugby players.
Seen after returning from the Pub—
one Lovett female.
Campos report no bodies yet recov-
ered.
Who elso but a RELI major would
have the best professors teach the
worst classes to a bunch of freshmen
who don't want to be there in the first
place?
Must be a Yankee, too.
Q: Why did they have to plant new
grass on the path between Jones and
Brown?
A Because the Brown girls like to
graze too much.
Overheard at NOD:
"If you'll show me yours...I mean, if
you'll show me yours when there
aren'ta hundred people watching, IH
show you mine. Maybe."

I'm falling all my classes!

Arthur Andersen? Notes & Notices
Attention campos at the football
game on Saturday:
"I am sorry if I caused any trouble at

the basic rights we were taught were
ours."
