When I was a freshman in college, one of the Freshman Union's specialities
was a piece of sticky ham steak with a glob of even stickier potatoes au
gratin. We had a plate of said stuff resting sideways on top of the bathroom

of several months, until one day during a water fight it got wet and slid
slowly to the ground . . .
