Fartio Ad Absurdum

This totally hot guy in my Philosophy tutorial was talking about the categorical imperative and why Kant was wrong to propose its unconditional supremacy over the hypothetical imperative. He attacked the premise of autonomous will in an argument by reductio ad absurdum, taking it to the Objectionist extreme as put forth by Ayn Rand. I was all, like, impressed, and wanted to show him that I was smart too, so I was about to bring up the need for primary AND secondary laws in a society--and then I farted. Everyone heard me, even the proseminar on Hegel next door! I was so embarrassed!

Twinning My TF

So I was wearing my new red Abercrombie button-down to CS50 section, but my TF was wearing the same shirt! I tried to cover it up, but my TF noticed while she was explaining binary search algorithms. "We're like two nodes on a search tree! She exclaimed. My face was as red as my shirt!

MAC Memories

I play lacrosse and in the off-season I try to work out pretty regularly, and sometimes end up at the MAC at weird off-hours when there aren't many people there. Pretty late one weeknight I needed a spotter for the freeweights, and the only people there were this old-ish guy on the treadmill and some chick on the treadmill. She looked great but I didn't want to ask her, and this other guy who looked like he could handle it, so I asked him and he said he'd do it. I put on a couple extra 45 lb. plates, hoping the stairmaster chick would notice, and I normally could have handled it but maybe I'd just been pumping a little too hard lately or something because my pecs totally gave out on the third rep and the bar came crunching down on my chest, and the old guy totally just freaked out and couldn't get it off and I started yelling "get it off, get it off," but then he just started yelling too, and the stairmaster chick had to come over and help us lift it off my neck. Yo, now I have to go all the way to the QRAC because I'm so embarrassed.

Ec or Ecch?

One time I was sitting in the front row for Ec 10 lecture and Professor Feldstein made a joke about positive externalities and I laughed so hard I soiled my sourcebook! I'm sure Marty saw me...I could've died!

Rain Pain

I was working as a camp counselor last summer and one day I got soaking wet leading some campers back from a hike in a storm. But when I went back to the cabin to take off my went clothes, I remembered that I was late making a phone call. So I threw a long raincoat over my purple bra and panties and ran to the pay phones. As I raced to the camp headquarters in the rain, I saw this really fine counselor coming by with some of his campers and I stopped paying attention to the trail and tripped! When I fell, my coat flipped over my head and the hottie and a ton of little kids learned Victoria's Secret.

Busted, Busted, Can't Be Trusted!

When I was a freshman in high school, I had a crush on this guy who I barely knew. My friends used to take notes on what he wore or things he said and relay the into back to me. One day, I decided to call him up and find out who he liked. To conceal my identity, I faked a French accent and pretended I was a foreign exchange student named Monique. About a minute into the conversation, my crush said, "[Debbie], is this you? I immediately hung up the phone, mortified. He eventually became one of my best friends, but I will never live down the "Monique incident!"

DORM CREW DOODIE

I do dorm crew, and one time I was cleaning a bathroom in Thayer, when I really had to take a dump! Well, I didn't think anyone was in the room, so I just took a seat and let fly. When I was finally through, I heard some people in the common room giggling. But they weren't laughing at me-they were having sex! Anyway, I was pretty embarrassed.
