<p>There was a happiness survey done back in the 1980s that was the subject of a George Will column. It seems Chicago was ranked something like 300 in terms of fun. Will wrote that Chicago students were a special lot, since when an interviewer asked a Chicago student’s opinion about being ranked so low, the student immediately replied, “Who is claiming fun is linear?” (or something to that effect, it has been a few years :)) He marveled at the wit and quick thinking of Chicago students, I would hope a question about the current survey would occasion a similar response.</p>
