This survey ...I beg to differ with the last poster. This survey only reinforces the corporate relationship with higher education. By foisting donuts on unwitting students, through the groomed sugar response successfully implimented in the species in such a short time frame, they do grow fatter and slower paced, thus making it easier for jocks to catch them and pummel them and otherwise bully and intimidate. This may be none other than a genetic reflex on their part, BUT, it sure the hell conditions them for the gridiron and hockey arena - it keeps the killer intstinct well honed for thrashing opponents in the real arena of sports. And we all know how much cash this brings into the University, so gorge away my pudgy little Statistas - we need you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1099061597578480432004-10-29T10:53:00.000-04:002004-10-29T10:53:00.000-04:00But a lot of the non-athletes fail to bathe on a r...But a lot of the non-athletes fail to bathe on a regular basis.

It seems the jock had lurched through life with this frog on his head until one day he decided to do something about it. He drug his knuckles down to a surgeon and got checked in. He was put in an exam room and pretty soon the surgeon came in. He looked at the jock with the big frog on his head and asked, " what can I do for you, mister?" - and the frog replied, " You can start by removing this wart from my ass".

It not only appears that I better avoid the football stadium when seeking romance, but that my poems and offer of trans-fatty acids in a sack are not working for me. Should I transfer to the University of Minnesota or seek sanctuary by majoring in Sociology here? In light of a previous post, I'm sure you will understand that any commitment to Sociology will mandate an avoidance of statistics classes on my part. Lastly, I would rather have a donut then pump iron so whoever is in charge of this survey, mark me down as a 2, if part-time students are allowed to participate.

I was a starter on the basketball team at my college for four years. I was also a pre-med and engineering double major with a 3.9 GPA and scored 2310 on my GRE. Clearly I'm not the illiterate imbecile the commentator would have Jeremy's readers believe all athletes are.<br /><br />The fact of the matter is that a great many athletes are far more intelligent than your average student. People who were varsity athletes in college are disproportionately represented among the nations top doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Many of them credit the drive that helped them become great athletes with helping them to become leaders in their fields.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558726.post-1098801521936948722004-10-26T10:38:00.000-04:002004-10-26T10:38:00.000-04:00I've seen the simian gait and been asked too many ...I've seen the simian gait and been asked too many times on campus where a bathroom is to argue about it, and yes, I have seen them drop the baskets they had woven in Algebra 202 as they lurched off in the direction I had pointed to, but, I need to back off least the fun of this Blog becomes otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
