The more I learn about college education in the 21st century, the more I realize I was born too soon.

Back in the day, I had to cut class and then cook up a lie to tell Professor Leiter — a different one from the lie(s) previously used — if I wanted to go bass fishing. This task may have helped hone my creative skills, but it sure dampened an otherwise fun day on the water.

So what goes on now?

Bass fishing is a collegiate sport, for Pete's sake. Some universities even award scholarships. Hell, I could have lettered all four years!

Something else that's different between Then and Now — (and parents: snatch this paper away from your kids if you catch them reading it; otherwise they'll have to explain it to you later) — is this matter of, uh, "the protection."

We were forced to stammer in front of an aged, balding,Where to shop chanel bags online? stern, fossil-faced pharmacist who wore a starched white jacket and stared down like a buzzard contemplating a flat 'possum in the middle of the road. All the while we tried to explain the dire needs of a "friend" who was sick and couldn't procure the product himself.

And that's if you were lucky in the hope-to-get-lucky preparation. Otherwise, the only female pharmacist in town — yes, the one who attended church with your parents — would sneak up from behind and ask, "May I help you, young man?"

"Aaaak! No, ma'am! Er,Red Canada Goose Citadel Parka i got and i love it. I mean yes. Where is the foot powder aisle?"

I bought a lot of fWomen's Canada Goose Solaris Parka make a great warm, dry and comfortable and above all.oot powder in those days.

But I recently learned about an even greater injustice for collegians of my era.

It concerns part-time work.

If we needed spending money (see earlier notation about foot powder), we had to take a job pumping gasoline or bagging groceries.

True, those options don't exist for students any longer. But that doesn't matter.

I just read about a much easier job "a large group of undergraduate men and women" at Oxford University got hired to perform.

They were paid serious coin to laugh.

I am not making this up. As we speak, a New York Times story headlined "The Chemical Payoff of a Belly Laugh with Friends" is clutched in my ink-stained palms.

It tells how researchers were studying the physical-chemical reaction of laughter and needed human guinea pigs.Bruyneel exits RadioShack Cycling after armstrong report release!

Said Robin Dunbar, the lead scientist and a professor of evolutionary psychology: "The muscles of the diaphragm have to work very hard."

Duh. I could've told him that and only charged half the going rate.
