Reminds me of the time in college when one of my housemates taped a bunch of Playgirl photos in one of my textbooks.
Professor: Open your textbook to page 87.
Me: Opened textbook to page 87 and saw a full page picture of naked dude posing with his 10” boner. Immediately closed textbook and hoped people sitting next to me didn’t see that. Then I heard the girl sitting next to me chuckling. I then spent the entire class with textbook closed and unable to follow along and hoped professor didn’t notice.
When I got back to the house I had to go page by page through the entire book (and all my other textbooks and notebooks) to remove the twenty other pictures randomly placed in there.
Fast forward a couple of months… the house next to us was the ΣΑΕ “unofficial” frat house. We were over there for a party and I was talking to one of the guys that lives there. His room and my room face each other on the second floor of our respective houses. He said, “Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask you something. What’s with that poster hanging in your window?” I told him I didn’t know what he was talking about. He said go up to his room and look out his window. Yep, the Playgirl centerfold was taped to my window shade and had been there for months.
If you do a very basic probability analysis, you can easily conclude that it is extremely unlikely that 4-5 (can’t recall) of the top 35-39 AG will have their tires flat and their saddles loose. Occam’s razor: think of all the assumptions around a hypothesis that would make all of the above be a coincidence.
Hold my beer. In summer school in high school, I played (second chair, first violin) in the pit orchestra for the musical being performed. On the last night, we (well, not me) taped a centerfold to a page in one of the crazier pieces…in the conductor’s score. After the initial shock, he thought it was funny.
On the boat racing tangent, I was listening to some discussion during a long drive about how in the past, teams would recruit these strong burly football/rugby type guys to power the winches and stuff b/c the faster you can crank those, then the faster the sails and stuff get set. But these days as things are becoming electronic you don’t need that muscle anymore, and a side effict is that racing crews have opened up to female sailors … they can easily press a button rather than crank a winch.
Look up some of the videos of the Ineos-sponsored sailing and cycling teams working together over the past year. It still happens in competitive sailing.
