Nice to know that the University of Virginia is the best at something. The University has snagged the top ranking in Playboy magazine‘s Top 10 Party schools. More than making up for its 16th place rank for sports (really, that high?), the Wahoos notched a No. 2 spot for sex (behind the University of North Carolina — talk about a school rivalry!) and No. 3 for nightlife. Mr. Jefferson would be so proud!

No. 2 for sex? Wow, things sure have changed since I was there. My entering class was only the second in UVa history to admit women (other than the nursing school). To find a date, most of us beta males had to hit the road to Sweetbriar, Mary Baldwin, Longwood or Mary Washington. But, hey, at least we had jobs when we graduated and we didn’t have to live at home!

    Nah, not really. The woman in the pic isn’t showing any cleavage.

    The women at UVA do not have cleavage?

    They’re too tasteful to show it.

    Yeah, Jim … it was the admissions policies that kept you in the lonely hearts club…the admissions policies.

    I mean, how could a pick up line focused on functional human settlement patterns fail?

    It was the admissions policies …

      That was long before I knew anything about human settlement patterns. Back then, my pick-up lines were even lamer.

        Do you want to see my Escher prints? They are back in my dorm room.

    We were Hands Down #1 in my Day – in Drinking that is. Sex – That was nowhere near #2. A bit spotty, at best, I’ve say. More like catch as catch can.
