During our LIT Presentation Baruch decided that it would be a FABULOUS time to have a campus-wide fire drill. Suddenly the lights started flickering, alarms were going off and some guy with a heavy accent boomed into the PA system that no one was aware existed,
"This is a drill. Please evacuate the building to the 23rd street entrance via the staircases on the West side of the building. Again, this is a drill."
We were on the 12th floor, there was no way in hell my entire call was going to truck down 12 floors of stairs for a drill, only to walk back up the stairs. So we all just called bullshit, and waited in the hallway for the drill to be over the and doors to unlock. But I guess the school wasn't USED to using the alarm, because even when we were green-lit to resume class, the alarm and flickering lights were still going off.
So our presentation went something along the lines of:
WWEEEHOOO WEEE HOOO "Alexander Pope was a writer in the lat 1600s..." WEEEEE OOOO WEEE HOOOO "He...uh...HE BELIEVED THAT GOD WAS THE HERO OF MAN..." WEEE OOO WEE HOOOOO "And that man....Excuse me, can someone just put their jacket on the seizure inducing strobe light on the alarm next to the door? Thanks...POPE DIDN'T LIKE HOW MAN THOUGHT HE WAS BETTER THAN GOD..."
Stay classy, Baruch.
