Yee-haw!

There's always one older person in every college classroom who is there "just for fun." Some middle-aged parent or early-bird-special senior citizen who audaciously enters a classroom of twenty-somethingers and dominates the discussion.

This nuisance is the person who makes certain that we will never be dismissed from class early because he or she will undoubtedly come across another "interesting point" in the text. These are the knowitalls that will use up class time to discuss the finer points of Newton's law of universal gravitation, or to explore the subtle nuances which distinguish an Asian cockroach from an Oriental cockroach.

I say the university rounds them all up, with a lasso, maybe--anyone over 40--and puts them in one obnoxious classroom. And then all we have to do is stay the hell away from there.
