Oxford, Continued

An American who'd been teaching at Oxford for the last 40 years gives a speech about the difference between our two countries.

His assesment of the lower classes:

"They just expect to get taken care of by the government. This crisis with our troops being captured by Iranians is great for them, like someone just delivered a big box of Viagra to their door. Hmmmm... eh... Yes. Yes. Using them of course, the Viagra I mean. That is what you do, I'm given to understand."

About half of his speech was composed of him mumbling "hmmmm" or "ehhh" or agreeing with himself by mumbling "yes, yes really".

That was the highlight of the speech, but he's also president of the program, so I'm sure we'll be hearing from him again.

I ate a pasty for lunch. It was meat, potatoes, and onions inside bread. I think I've died and gone to heaven.
