Surprise!

CofC posted an entry the other day that about a college incident that reminded me of one of my own.

I had 2:00PM Calculus lecture in an extremely large hall...seats about 800 people. It was normally empty the hour before, so I would often show up there to study or nap before the lecture instead of walking back to my dorm between classes. One such day I walked up to one of the several doors, flung it open, and walked in. I was greeted by a rather attractive blonde chick with blue eyes. She was also naked. She was also enthusiastically performing fellatio on 15’ tall Northern Redwood of a penis. Right before my eyes were a couple hundred people watching a 1970’s era porn flick on the halls enormous main AV screen. In unison, the twenty closest people to the door silently swiveled their heads on their necks to fix their stares upon me…with kind of a “what the hells your problem?” look. For one of the few times in my life, I was struck speechless. It was as if someone hit me across the face with a large trout.

I spun on my heel and quickly made exit. In the hall with face flushed and heart racing, I slowly made sense of the scene. There was at the time a very infamous upper level psychology class at the University. I believe it was PSY444, Human Sexuality. Part of the course involved the examination of sexual erotica. Turns out the Professor had reserved the hall that day for screenings. I had barged in like a vice cop into an adult theatre. But rather than finding a bunch of middle-aged bald guys pulling their puds under cheap overcoats, I found a bunch of kids wearing Teva's intently analyzing and taking notes.

I didn’t bother coming back for Calculus.
