This week's surrealism showdown:

I can't figure out which is stranger...


1) I grabbed a burger and Frosty from the Wendy's on campus last night. There were a bunch of, for lack of a better term, motivational signs that people waiting in line could read as they stood there (there's usually a 5 minute wait overall). Most of these signs were pretty normal, saying things like "Hang in there!" and "Your day's about to get better!" Bear in mind, these are supposed to be read by customers. The one that blew my mind, however, read



"There's nothing bad about making a profit."


WTF mate?


2) I was reading the BGNews today, and was impressed to see one of my students being quoted in an article about the costs of healthy food at campus dining halls. This is one of my better students, and the quotes provided were clear and made BG students sound educated about issues. Just as I was thinking that I was going to have to compliment this student in class tomorrow, I glanced at the crime log just above the article (the BGNews crime log, which covers all activity from the city of Bowling Green, is infinitely better than the old Flyer News), and found that another student had been arrested for DUI, possession, and resisting.


Bear in mind that, out of 20,000 students at BGSU, only 22 are in my class.

1) What's wrong with making a profit? We're capitalists damnit!

2) Clearly your students are exemplary individuals.
