Yale University is, improbably, located in a small, crime-riddled ghetto. This is incomprehensible, as many generations of Columbians know it is far better to be located in a large, crime-riddle ghetto. Yet the allure of Yale remains, inexplicably, for some.
Perhaps it is because their last names trail into Roman numerals too large for us to read, because they enjoy clubs named for decomposing body parts, or have an urge to be on the fast track to a job undermining foreign governments (and, more recently, the domestic government as well).
Yale also posseses the following characteristics:
- Harvard hates it, for some inexplicable reason
- Has a massive inferiority complex when it comes to Harvard
- Basketball coach Joe Jones' brother coaches there
- Lots of presidents and potential presidents seem to come from there
- The above may have something to do with its shady, scary centuries-old WASP clubs with names evoking the remnants of death. Perhaps.
- The nation's first postmodern law school, which calls itself such without teaching law
- Makes excellent locks and forklifts.
