*speechless*

we pay (the highest fees amongst all unis) to get into the exclusive, snobby-but-that's-the-point university of melbourne, victoria's number one tertiary education body (is it also australia's best? i forget). along with this, we pay services and amenities fees and other such compulsory money-sucking schemes. so it is only natural that we come to expect and get the very best of all things, including mail from our disgustingly rich student union, advertising semesterly offered short courses, and its accompanying short course newsletter short & snappy.

so as not to bore you with the *surprise surprise* short, wonderous excepts about nothing, here's a shorter glance at (some of the) quotes plainly lifted off its glossy, coloured pages:

Under its CORNY PICK UP LINES section:

If I could rearrange the alphabeth, I'd put U and I together.

'You know what? Your eyes are the same colour as my Porsche.'

'If you were a booger I'd pick you first.'

'Do you have any raisins? No?
How about a date?'

Revelation! I wouldn't have expected any less.
I would share the rest with you, I mean, since I've paid for it, but then I learnt:

Procrastinate now, don't put it off.

HANG LAUREN
ok, so you gotta be malaysian to get it, but it's still funny!

talents (among others):

1. having successfully wrapped grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, etc round her lil finger and making them vie shamelessly for her attention.
2. hiccuping vigourously and on cue when poked in the tummy by her uncle T.
3. fussing her way into just about anything she wants.
4. having yummy baby smell.
5. being absolutely adorable with your tiny lil feet and lil wiggling fingers and tinier nails, your cutesy button nose, your clever lil fake-fuss, your big, alert eyes and gaping mouth as you look out at the strange big world, your thick tufty black hair and silken skin.
