Overheard At Washburn

It's a lazy afternoon in Memorial Union at Washburn University. The buzz of students going to a fro that resonated off the walls just a few hours before has died down to a relative calm.

On the lower level two students play ping pong while a third sits in a chair watching ESPN on the nearby plasma screen TV. A male student approaches and takes a seat next to his friend and strikes up the following conversation.

"Dude, there's a flier on the bulletin board with a picture of Ron Jeremy."
Ping. Pong.
"Yeah, he's going to be here next week."
Ping. Pong.
"What? Here at Washburn? Really? Why?"
Ping. Pong.
"Yeah, he's going to debate a former porn addict about the pros and cons of porn addiction."
Ping. Pong.
"Wait, there are pros to porn addiction?"

Laughter ensues.

Ping. Pong.

I bet that debate put the Lincoln-Douglass debates to shame.
