Pennsive
Overheard, one end of a telephone conversation:
- Yes, he's at the University of Pennsylvania right now.
- Yes, it's in Philadelphia.
- Yes, it's a real university.
I think I can guess at the first two questions.

ok, for us dummies - what are the first two questions?
Seriously? There are people out there who've never heard of U Penn?
Falstaff: I know you're from Penn and all but you shouldn't take it that personally. I have met people over the last couple of months who have heard of neither Harvard nor Oxford. (So, what do they teach at Oxford, I am asked. Ummm?!)
Philadelphia is a real place?
szerelem:
based on context, i'd guess the first was "what is your son doing now?" and the second, "is that in philadelphia?"
falsie:
i know! maybe they know it by its formal name -- UPenndranath?
rahul:
not if you're staying the night at the cosmic elevator's ;-)
True story: there was a day-care/kindergarten outside my place in Bombay that was called "Harvard Academy".
Rahul: Philadelphia is an illusion caused by a lack of New York.
"Upenndranath" = :D
Upenndranath.. hahahahaha!!!
