Nonsexual lickety-split

[Page Stephens]

Students in the middle ages got back to college only to be greeted with
graffiti on the sides of buildings which read "Give Portnoy a hand" and
then the males would walk into the restroom where they discovered written
above the urinals, "Here is where Napoleon stood when he tore his bone
apart."
