"When Harris is at a party, and is asked to sing, he replies: 'Well, I can only sing a comic song, you know'; and he says it in a tone that implies that his singing of that however is a thing that you ought to hear once, and then die."

college mail
I think I'll go to this college, seeing as they took so much time to painstakingly spell my name out leaf by leaf.
I mean if they care enough about me to go through all that trouble, I bet they care about their actual students a whole lot more...
They must care a lot about me too, because I received a postcard from Tusculum with my name spelled in leaves.
I have been flooded with e-mails and letters from colleges and universities, begging me to attend their school: You're among the best, Julie ~~~ How would you like to uncover the factors other smart women considered before choosing their college? ~~~ Take a deep breath, Julie. Searching for the right college is about to get a whole lot easier. ~~~ From what I've learned about you, you're our kind of person: motivated, compassionate and down-to-earth.
And they know this how? They're just trying to butter me up. Today, I filled out yet another form to be sent even more college materials. Here we go again.
I am so envious of this spiffy brochure that I actually just went to their website and requested information.
I bet they can't spell "Daphne", though. No one spells my name correctly.
I hate college mail. I throw it all away without looking at it. It has gotten to the point where I receive more college emails than I do solicitations from shady rolex dealers. Most of them are from random places like "EastSouthNorthern University of West Dakota", too.

What is that dark shadowy figure on the left? A nun?
Oh wait, I just realized it's your hole punch....
That's one to save for the scrapbook...
