Why aren't we funny anymore?
Date 11/16/2000 12:00 AM | Topic: OpinionSeniors, what has happened to the Headless Norse columns - they used to be funny! I remember reading Headless as a freshman, and laughing my, uh, head, off.
Now as a senior, it seems I no longer know how to be funny. I thinc we hav learnt to mcuh at Luther. Are branes our turnt to mush. We hav had to be smart four so long that we do not no how to be funy anymor. Hav yoo ever tried to turn in a paper that yoo thot was funy? I did.
I rote a paper in red inc wons and told my prof that I was trying to sav him the trubble. He was not amuzed.he tot me a lesson, and corected it in blac inc!
Have we learned so much that the only way we can be funny any longer is to drink lots and lots of beer? I for one, am all in favor of drinking lots and lots of beer to attempt to forget all that stuff I have learned while at Luther that crowds my brain and no longer allows me to laugh.
I have a philosophy that I learned from one of those never-ending forwards that plague all unfortunate college students. just as wolves chasing a herd of buffalo kill off the slowest and weakest buffalo because they are the easiest to catch, alcohol kills off the slowest and weakest brain cells, leaving our brain in top condition.
But, oh no, what if this is exactly what our professors want to happen? While we've been out drinking away the stress of homework, have we unintentionally been making ourselves smarter?!
Are we going to leave here not as comedians, but as intellectuals? Oh, the degradation of society.
But I beg you seniors, rebel, for one final time. Write a funny headless column. This just may be your last chance to write a paper that is not thesis-based.you can do it!
