  • Brad, you done nailed them pesky squirrels. Besides, its a better bet to lay it off on them critters than the students, Everybody knows squirrels got more intelligence that college students anyway. So squirrels nut hiding makes more sense than student crock pots and microwaves.

  • Not many people remember when the campus building was supplied direct current from the power plant, not 110v. AC. Students from St. Louis would move into the dorms, and bend the prongs on the cord to the radio so it could be plugged in, and fry it like a piece of bacon.

  • DC rather than AC? I did not know that. I fried a hairdryer the first time I visited England. I was just not used to plugging in a converter first. Zapped it in a second.

    Thanks for reading.
