| April
24th - Newman Day |
|
► Newman Day (also Newman's Day) is a collegiate drinking
ritual where 24 beers are consumed over 24 hours.
It is named for the late beer-drinking actor Paul Newman
and his comment made during a campus speech: "24 hours
in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not."
Newman Day occurs on April 24, and Newman Day participants
indulge during the stipulated 24-hour period, and should neither
sleep nor vomit. They also attend their normally scheduled
classes.
Paul Newman did not approve this day. |

24th 's Joke: |
|
► A man flying in a hot air balloon realizes he is
lost. He reduces his altitude and spots a man in a field down
below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, "Excuse
me, can you tell me where I am?"
The man below says, "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon,
about 30 feet above this field."
"You must be an engineer," says the balloonist.
"I am. How did you know?"
"Everything you told me is technically correct, but it's
of no use to anyone."
The man below says, "You must be in management."
"I am. But how did you know?"
"You don't know where you are, or where you're going,
but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position
you were before we met, but now it's my fault."
