A Just Education

When I was a freshman I led a panty raid on Barnard. We had at least 100 guys storming the Barnard dorm in search of underwear. (What trophy could be more valuable?) In the pandemonium I hit one room and snared some underwear which I hid under my jacket. As I emerged I was confronted by a burly cop who snarled, “And what do you think you’re doing?” I replied, “Sir, I’m just trying to get an education.”
