Texan Joke (not rot.)

[Robin King]

A Texas kid had just arrived at Harvard and was
familiarizing himself with the campus. He couldn't
locate the library, but spotted a group of experienced-
looking preppie snobs and decided to ask for help.

"'Scuse me," he politely drawled, "could you tell me
where the library's at?"
"At Harvard, we do NOT end our sentences with a prepo-
sition," one sniffed distainfully.
Taken aback, the Texan corrected himself. "Well, then,
can you tell me where the library's at, ASSHOLE!"

Or, as Sir Winston Churchill once remarked,

" A preposition is a terrible thing to end a sentence with."

The traditional version of Churchill's reply:

That is something up with which I will not put.

As I heard it, he said later in the same conversation, "That is

something up with which I will not put."

[Shelli Meyers]

Sadly enough, one day an MIT student found that he had to use Harvard's
library. In Harvard Yard, he asked a Harvard student,
"Excuse me, where's the library at?"

The Harvard student disdainfully replied,
"At Hahvahd, we DON'T end sentence with prepositions."

"Allright; where's the library at, ASSHOLE?"

"Time flies... when you're asleep."
