Life at a New Orleans University.

My one friend with the cat got a one-year fill-in position at a New Orleans university.

When she got there to sign the contract and go apartment-hunting, the departmental secretary was like, "Welcome to Planet New Orleans."

She then told her about this emeritus psych prof who comes in talking about the classes he's teaching, what classes of his are coming up, etc., and she has to remind him that he's retired from teaching.

She also said that right before he retired, he was getting pretty senile, and started talking about cases from his private practices to his lecture classes. After one lecture where he went on an on about treating a guy who was having sex with a donkey, this student went to complain to the Dean.

"I don't want to hear about that in class, it's inappropriate!", she was like, and went on and on about how disturbing it was.

"And," she was like, "I think it's my uncle!"
