    When I was in college (shortly after the glaciers left and we chased off
the mammoths so the Czars could eat them), we discovered that grits caused
mental retardation. For some unknown reason, there is an unwritten law that
says that Calc 2 and any higher level math courses MUST be taught at the
earliest possible time. Preferably 6:00 am. and always with a M-W-F
schedule.
    We noticed that those math students who were swilling coffee (blessed
nectar of the sacred bean!) in the predawn hours were doing pretty well in
the class, and those eating grits for breakfast couldn't integrate to save
their lives. By the time we got to tensors and matrix algebra, the classes
consisted exclusively of coffee inhalers, and not a single grit muncher was
left. Q.E.D., the grits must have done it . . . Either that, or the caffene
granted us Mentat-like mathematical abilities.
    (It is by Will alone I sent my mind in motion. It is by the nectar of
the Sacred Bean that the thoughts acquire speed, the fingers acquire a
temor, the teeth acquire a stain, the stain is a warning, it is by Will
alone I set my mind in motion.     SLURP!)
