True. Cambridge is a bit better. But I do know some people who had the grades to go to Oxford who intentionally didn't go, because they didn't want to end up like arrogant upper-class arseholes.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

What's wierd is that Cambridge approached me last year...an American who, while quite intelligent, wasn't within 15% of the top of his class...

Well, the US Marines wanted me for three years.

...and I'm a lot of things, but military material is surely not one of them.

How on earth did Cambridge approach you? Did they send mysterious men dressed in black?

No, the whole college stood up, hiked a huge ass dress up around its old crumbling buildings, and walked over to him and said, "Hi, my name is Cambridge, would you like to dance, or shall I just crush you with this dormitory?"

How on Earth can you misspell something that's just been spelled correctly four times in the last five posts?

I got like three or four letters from them detailing a lot of various departments and stuff, along with letters from at least a hundred other school. [Razz]

And the Navy, Air Force, and Army all were after me for some reason...Jason can testify to the fact that I wouldn't make any physicals...especially in the Air Force. [Wink]
