My mind is still boggling from the fact that someone in my fiction workshop last night was able to utter the following comment without detecting any double entendre: “I liked the sex scene. It was subtle. You didn’t try to shove anything down our throats.”
Speaking of, I don’t normally read the Daily Trojan (the campus paper), but I picked up one recently on a whim and read the following headline: “Pantsless Man Caught Masturbating in Leavey Library.” The story is full of odd details, such as: “He told us that he had left his pants in Doheny Library earlier in the night. To this date, the pants haven’t been found.” Also: “Witnesses then positively identified him as who they had seen in the library,” which makes me imagine a lineup and a witness saying, “Boy, I’m really not sure, officer. It was dark. If I had to guess, I’d say maybe it was that one there, number 4, the one with no pants.”
