How about installing the devices used at car rental lots? Go over them the wrong way and get 4 flats. That should slow down the drunks, at least. :mrgreen:

The funny thing is I’m not sure if the administrators will be upset or happy about this quote from one of their students?
I’m guessing outwardly upset, but beaming like a proud papa on the inside.

I mean, I know they are proud of their partying there and the university sort of “allows” it. I don’t know if they would promote it, but I’d say they are ok with it. Can’t believe that is the kind of thing a student would use as a selling point(stolen from ‘Dillo) in an article like that, though.

I don’t think they have the reciprocity agreement anymore so unless you feel like paying out of state tuition it’s probably not a viable option anyhow.

They do still actually have the reciprocity between Minnesota and Wisconsin. But I could care less because my kids are BANNED from going to Wisconsin or North Dakota. St. Clown is on that list too but since it’s so close to our home I might let that one slide.

True to a cheesehead, they said they were going to then spray paint the deer orange in hopes hunters wouldn’t shoot it. I have no idea why they wouldn’t have just thrown it in their pole barn for a weekend instead.
The deer has disappeared, btw.

They don’t have to agree with it but to not allow someone to speak because their beliefs conflict with theirs… :roll:

:shots: :beerchug: They were in fourth grade give the teacher a break! It was the Thursday that school got out and she just decided to party a little much (granted it was around noon when she was tanked :drunk:), heck maybe she had a challenging class. There was also 8 other employees there. :shots: Besides that she wasn’t driving the bus.
Ok, in all seriousness, I understand wanting to celebrate the end of the year as many teachers do with their colleagues after school lets out on the last day of school. This is just ridiculous!

I have read somewhere that they drink a ton of brandy too – both combined and they are #1 in alcohol consumption/person.
It was years ago when I read that though.
