Did you go to one of those schools that has the “buy three semesters, get the fourth one free” coupons? I still like to proudly point out that the college I learned most in was the one that gave me a 10% discount for paying with a credit card. I just wish I went in on “double value Tuesdays.”

Actually, that’s not true, I didn’t learn shit there.

Thinking back, this is my experience with coupons. Twenty years ago, I was a driver for Domino’s Pizza. 😃 It was a fun job and it paid well, as far as a college student was concerned. Sometimes, the boss would have us come in early and distribute coupons (put them on windshields and doors). I never liked to do it, people would bitch at you and it was “straight-time” when the sun was shining, you didn’t get mileage and tips distributing coupons. I would take it as an opporunity to get a 6-pack and go down to the landing at the river or something, (ride the clock). I’d throw all the coupons behind the seat. If it was a slow night for deliveries and tips were bad, the copupons would be there. I’d replace five or six $2.00 coupons for ten or twelve bucks in my roll, it was easy. You had to be careful, though, and not kill the goose. “Stuffing Coupons” was ground for termination. I have a higher moral ground these days.

Thanks to **JeffB** , I now know that I am not a _strudent_. Though some days (like during physiology tests) I wish I was. Strudel is yummy.

Maybe I do get the 4th semester free! I just finished the 3rd semester, I’ll have to check on that. The only things I have gotten for free from the university was a massive headache, 30 extra pounds, and the “President’s Outstanding Freshman Award” for being a complete geek. It’s basically a glorified ashtray. I guess if I keep gaining weight (10 lbs a semester, :eek: ) I’ll have to take up smoking to lose the weight. And then the “Award” will come in handy.

Oh, and the school does not accept coupons.
