My U.
Slate.com featured an article today called, "How do you start your own university?"
This got me thinking: I think we should start our own university. If Jerry Falwell can have one, why can't we?
One class I know I would like to teach at my university is Cell Phones 101.
Some lecture notes:
People should not use their cell phones in public places (i.e. in elevators, the bank, the grocery, etc.).
Multi-tasking and cell phones = disaster! This means people should not shop and talk, bank and talk, or walk and talk...and...
People should get off their damn cell phones while they're driving (There is scientific data to support this).
If I can hear your cell phone conversation, you should not be having it.
People should never, ever, ever have an emotional bout with a loved one on a cell phone in public! Ever! I really don't give a shit if he did sleep with your best friend! Text-messaging is making people grammatically retarded. What is an apostrophe for?? IDK! What about capital letters? WTF are those for??
The silent feature: learn it, love it, use it. No one else wants to listen to The Battle Hymn of the Republic progressively getting louder while you go digging through your purse to find your cell phone, which will inevitably stop ringing before you find it anyway.
And that's just for starters.
What about you? What would you teach at our university to help alleviate the stupidity that has flooded our society?
