    Because it's clearly what all the ladies wanted, I had a stable of math-based pickup lines in college. Forgotten most of them. One of them was the very classy "what do you say we go back to my place so I can get tangent to your curves."

    I have a close friend who is a community college history instructor.
    He had assigned Sinclair Lewis' 'The Jungle' on his reading list, and a student claimed she could not read it because it was causing her to have nightmares and experience stress.

    I missed an exam once, and told the professor my absence was due to a sperm-retention headache.

    Coupla years ago the internet exploded with rage over some risque Halloween costumes for women. One of these was a very fetching doctoral gown, with hood, mortarboard, etc. Many of the comments were priceless, but my favorite was ... "Care to join us in a little three-way ... ANOVA?"

    If she worked at a meat-packing plant -- or a newspaper -- that's probably legit.

    That is what I was thinking, but I didn't post it. ... The descriptions of immigrant life and the struggling to survive and the conditions in the slaughterhouses could conceivably cause someone to have nightmares.

    Sounds like a nightmare I have every so often. Even now, 20 years after graduating, I'll still have the dream where I haven't been to class all semester for one reason or another, and then I have to take the final exam.

    And you're running to get to the exam because you're late, and ... goddammit you're naked!

    Uh Riptide, nobody has that one.

    See a shrink, please.
