Drunken Nerds

Four successive posts UChicago-related. Hmm, I begin to sense a pattern. Anyways, bits and pieces from fellow Chicago applicants assembled from around the Internet.

On why Chicago students drink so much:
The smarter you get, the more depressing you realize the world is. The more depressed you get, the more you drink. (paraphrased)

So, bar jokes:


Rene Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender asks "Something for you, sir?" Descartes replies "I think not," and vanishes.

A neutron walks into a bar and asks for a beer, which the bartender gives him, and then walks away.
The neutron calls after him, "Hey, how much does this beer cost." The bartender replies, "For you, no charge!"

C, E flat, and G walked into a bar. "I'm sorry," the bartender said, "We don't serve to minors." So E flat left and C and G split a fifth between them.
