<p>Just saw this on the MIT forum. I liked the stubble on the stick figure. Made me smile. </p>

<p>Seems this puts college admissions in TRUE perspective–wish we had it a year ago!! Great piece of work!!!</p>
<p>Need another laugh (that’ll take your mind off of college admissions for a sec)? </p>
<p>Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal,
Brian’s mother couldn’t help but notice how beautiful Brian’s roommate,
Jennifer, was.</p>
<p>Brian’s Mom had long been suspicious of a relationship between Brian and
Jennifer, and this had only made her more curious.</p>
<p>Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she
started to wonder if there was more between Brian and Jennifer than met
the eye.</p>
<p>Reading his mom’s thoughts, Brian volunteered, “I know what you must be
thinking, but I assure you Jennifer and I are just roommates.”</p>
<p>About a week later, Jennifer came to Brian saying, "Ever since your mother
came to dinner, I’ve been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle.
You don’t suppose she took it, do you? "</p>
<p>Brian said, "Well, I doubt it, but I’ll send her an e-mail just to be
sure. So he sat down and wrote:</p>
<p>Dear Mom: I’m not saying that you “did” take the gravy ladle from the
house, I’m not saying that you “did not” take the gravy ladle. But the
fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for
dinner. Love, Brian</p>
<p>Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that
read:</p>
<p>Dear Son: I’m not saying that you “do” sleep with Jennifer, I’m not saying
that you “do not” sleep with Jennifer. But the fact remains that if
Jennifer is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle
by now. Love, Mom</p>
<p>LESSON OF THE DAY - NEVER LIE TO YOUR MOTHER</p>
<p>Well, the mom was a bit of a buttinsky, but the joke was funny.</p>
<p>I’m glad at least one other person found the animation at least mildly amusing.</p>
<p>I was about to start tapping on the microphone. Hello…I know you’re out there. I can hear you breathing.</p>
<p>Tough crowd tonight.</p>
<p>I couldn’t resist clicking on this thread, jazzymom, and I loved the animation. They certainly chose the right music.</p>
<p>Love the “Brian” joke, too.</p>
<p>jazzymom -OMG, loved it! I was cracking up. </p>
<p>My favorite part was the highlighting of the parts of the app to the words of the song- LOL</p>
<p>worrywart, At least the mom should be happy to know that Brian <em>was</em> getting some home cooked meals!</p>
<p>And that’s why they end up at MIT, very cute.</p>
<p>Nothing short of SHEER BRILLIANCE!!! And yes, this laugh was <em>very</em> much needed, jazzy. THANKS! ~berurah</p>
<p>Hi Jazzy…glad that experience is past history for us…but it did make me laugh. It’s always easier to laugh when it’s not you ;)</p>
<p>Yes, it’s so much easier to laugh about it now. 'course we still have one left at home who will someday be looking for his own place in those “promised lands…” Love that song.</p>
<p>Absolutely loved the words of the music tied to the application - I just wished it lasted longer…it ended too soon lol.</p>
<p>Incredibly funny!!! Loved the music with it, and the “out of 35,000 applicants, you were the only one rejected”!!! Sad, but funny. </p>
<p>The Brian story was great, too. Thanks for the LOL posts!!!</p>
