And how would you get a runner out between first and home when she walked?

Yeah, most of our collegiate friends would think this is a cookie for those who are constipated

Professor: I don't feel well.
Dean: Why don't you go to the Dispensary? They'll give you a Newtonian Physic. That sucker will clean you right out, figs always do that for me.
