Role of Farce

Overheard:

In the Hall of Flags: "I mean, I'd rather be busy than dead because I guess if you're dead they would probably lay you off. You know what I mean? I mean, they just gotta hire more guys. Yeah, more guys."

Student outside the library: “My memos are the only thing keeping Western civilization together.”

ISSP fellow to his study group: "...not that I had anything to do with torture; I'm a bomber guy by trade."

Professor Hannum: “I’m not real big on the masses.”

Professor Martel: "Do you have a sharpie? I can do a tracheotomy."

Professor Nasr on why Saudi Arabia will never be like Dubai: “[Dubai] has gay bars. I don’t think the Saudis would be willing to do that.”

Professor Klein: “Ok, everyone, be smart – we have a visiting student. We don't want her to leave disappointed. It's a dull job, but as a commodities trader, you make enough money to buy ecstasy and cocaine. [To prospective student] You're not gonna tell people about that, are you? Because then everyone would think this school is cooler than it actually is.”

Professor Uvin: “Let’s be clear: your goal is still your war-making, your hunting and your marrying of heads of state.”

Professor Hannum: “So, an abortion is like a burrito then?”
