Blanche: "There's a lot of things we can be doing, like voter ID. Every time you walk into a restaurant you have to show ID. How about you have to show your idea to vote? That's not anything that's crazy." { FREUDIAN SLIP! FREUDIAN SLIP! }

I've never shown ID to get into a Faculty Lounge or Dining Room. As a new student, I ordered a meal in a Faculty dining area without even knowing it. I guess I just looked mature for my age (snarf)*.

Thanks to Miles Archer for the link







*If you'd seen me at that age, you'd understand. Let's just say that puberty came late, slow, and damnably subtly for me.
