Letter from a college student
The other day, a friend of mine was visiting me in the lobby of my dorm just to chat while her laundry was drying. As we were chatting, two young freshmen came by. One of the boys wanted to ‘talk’ to my friend (as in date). She asked him how old they were, and both of the boys replied 18. My friend and I both laughed because we are both 22 years old. After my friend left, the young men were still hanging around and one wanted to know how he could gain her interest.
The first thing I told him to do was to pull up his pants! He asked why, and then he said “I liked saggin’ my pants”. I told them to come over to my computer and spell the word saggin’. Then I told him to write the word saggin’ backwards.

In an American history discussion group, the professor was trying to
explain how, throughout history, the concept of “beauty” changes with
time. “For example,” he said, “take the 1921 Miss America. She stood
five-foot-one inch tall, weighed 108 pounds and sported a 30-inch
bust, a 25-inch waist and 32-inch hips. How do you think she’d do in
today’s version of the contest?”

One woman describes herself as “Five feet, three inches tall and
pleasingly plump.” After she had a minor accident, her mother
accompanied her to the hospital emergency room. The admitting nurse
asked for her height and weight, and she blurted out, “Five-foot-
eight, 125 pounds.”
The nurse pondered over this information and looked over the patient.
Then the woman’s mother leaned over to her and gently chided,
“Sweetheart, this is not the Internet.”
