Seattle University, Washington

Student: So, basically I’ve come to beg for my life.
Professor: Go on.
Student: So, I need this class to graduate, right? But I know I’m failing. The problem is I’m taking too many credit hours and stopped coming to class, but this guy that I know who was taking notes for me and whatever — he stopped coming to class because he says he can’t stand to listen to you drone on and on. But don’t worry, it’s not like I don’t like psychology or anything — I love deviant psychology. So can I get extra credit or something?
Professor: Oh, Lord, no.

Tall brunette: … And so I said I didn’t want herpes, but he was like, ‘Oh, they’re no big deal.’

Tall brunette: Of course I did. Like he said, herpes are no big deal. Just a little itching and stuff… Besides, it’s not like I can ever get them again. It’s like chicken pox — once you get it, you don’t get it again.
Math major nearby, yelling: Do you mind taking your dumb, STD-having ass somewhere I’m not trying to eat?! [Other students cheer.]
