Back in Oz

While walking through the university today with my friend Matt, we had a conversation i deemed blog worthy. Matt is one of the funniest people i know and he never ceases to amuse me so I'm sure our conversation must have amused the people who were walking behind us as well.


We went to visit the new Humanities common room which is conveniently placed 2 buildings away from our building. Only Curtin University can do something as ingenious as that. We picked up a magazine in the humanities common room that had a listing of all courses available in the humanities department and as soon as Matt's eyes fell on the course 'Anthropology' the convo began:


Matt: You know what course I'd like to do? I'd like to do the 'Indian Jones' course.
Kev: Indiana Jones? (i know how Matt thinks) So you can learn anthropology and still be able to perform acrobatics while retrieving lost artifacts.
Matt: Exactly! You'd be so smart and you'll also learn how to trigger a line of pillars to fall at exactly the perfect speed for you to jump on the heads of the pillars and exit a cave. There should be an Indiana Jones course or a Lara Croft course.
Kev: Maybe it'll depend on your sex when you enrol. If you're male you do the Indiana Jones course and if you're female you do the Lara Croft course.
Matt: True. There's got to be a way they learnt what they know.


Kev: Do you think chicks will have a "how to keep a sexy body while learning anthropology" unit?
Matt: It's all inclusive. I'd say it's about an 8 year course and you learn it all from the anthropology to the ancient booby traps unit to the how to keep a sexy body unit. Doesn't getting exercise reduce your breast size?
Kev: Not for Lara Croft!
Matt: Maybe she's a wet nurse in her free time to keep them big and active...
Kev: Maybe she is..


At this point we walk past the Theatre in Uni which prompts another interesting conversation.


Kev: When was the last time you went to the theatre?
Matt: Can't remember...wait! That's a lie. I went to see an Indian reworking of 'A midsummer dream..Midnight summer...'
Kev: 'A Midsummer Night's Dream?' by Shakespear.
Matt: That's it. But it was all in Hindi and it was done by small Indian acrobats.


Kev: Did you understand it? Do you speak Hindi?
Matt: Not a word. Though it had one or two random words and sentences in English but they were so random they did absolutely nothing to help you understand the plot.
Kev: How did you end up going for that?
Matt: My friend got tickets and took me to see it.
Kev: Is your friend Indian.
Matt: No Caucasian.


Kev: Well, it's good you got that done.
Matt: Yes. Crossed it off my list of things to do before i die. "Watch an Indian reworking of 'A Midsummer Night's dream' performed by small Indian acrobats." Maybe next I'll try to masturbate a camel while rolling down a Swiss alp.
Kev: While singing the Greek National Anthem backwards.
Matt: Of course. Though that might take some setting up.
