Quote of the Day – Winklevoss Twins Edition

One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an a**hole.

@Stormy Dragon: I’m a 45-year-old with a professional job; wearing a suit is rather standard. As an undergraduate, I tended to wear jeans, khakis, or Army battle dress uniform.
