University Presidents Joke
I went to the UWL Awards Banquet tonight; my student Lee Wienkes was the winner of the "Murphy Award" given to the top graduating senior, and I got to present him with the award.
One of the other award recipients (an award for distinguished alumni) told this joke:
Two disillusioned university professors were chatting one evening, trying to decide what they would change if they were able to live their lives differently.
"I think I'd run an orphanage," said one, "No parents to deal with!"
"Sounds like a good plan," said the other, "but I think I'd become a prison warden, myself."
"Really? Why is that?"
"No alumni pressure groups."
