Default This Article Is Hilarious

This article is hilarious: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...uit/382604001/

I must say I have no stake in the debate, as I enjoy reading Robert Frost as much as poetry “focused on lesbians, illicit sexual relationships, incest and frequent swearing."

I was excited to read that the poetry professor allegedly “exposed her breasts while showing the class a back-shoulder tattoo.”

This is microcosmic.
Btw, not nearly enough detail is provided in the story about the inadvertent exposure of the prof's breast while displaying a tattoo. (I'll be sorry I said that). I blame USA Today's shallow reporting.

It's fence-mending time.

Do we know that it was inadvertent?

John: "Do we know that it was inadvertent?"

No, I guess not... but I deduced it based on this:

Kikkert also alleged that the professor exposed her breasts while showing the class a back-shoulder tattoo.

I suppose it could have been intentional to expose her breast, but not intended to show it -- her back was turned to show her back-shoulder tattoo.

We must get to the bottom of this.

Where was the governor when this was happening? If breasts were exposed, I blame Scott Walker. If a tattooed woman was teaching while flaunting her breasts, I blame the governor. (In Scott's defense, I assume the woman belongs to a union - otherwise he would have acted by now.)

Let's charitably imagine that the tatoo read "Anna Magnani has my back."
