I'm calling concerning this guy who lives downstairs from my friends and I. I don't want to say his real name, so we can just call him 'can dook-dook.' I think the word needs to be spread that this guy doesn't cover his mouth when he coughs, and these germs just go everywhere. So, we were just talking to him about it, and how he's ridiculous and generally a bad person, and he thinks that when he coughs all of the matter that leaves his mouth directly drops to the floor, and just becomes enveloped in the ground, and therefore there is no way germs can be spread through the air. So I think somebody should just enlighten the populace of the University to the fact that most diseases like colds and stuff -- or I guess not most diseases, but like, the common cold, are spread through the air because jerks like him don't cover their mouths. I just thought that should be acknowledged.
-- Cover your mouth
Not too distant in the recent past, the University of Virginia, and in particular the poor people in the admissions department, were absolutely besieged, deluged, by prospective students filing their applications. And one day here came this poor old University mail guy, laboring along with one of these dollys with plastic buckets piled high, trying to bring in the applications to admissions. Dean Jack Blackburn sees this old guy lumbering up the ramp, runs half the length of the building and holds the door for him. What a class act, this guy Jack Blackburn. What a real gentleman.
