	Once a fellow from Brookland got into Harvard.

	When he got there, he was looking for his freshman
orientation.  Finally, he went up to a person standing around
and said:

	"Where's the orientation I'm supposed to go to?"

	The person replied "Here at Harvard, we never end
a sentence with a preposition."

	The fellow from Brookland looked at him for a minute and
said:

	Where's the orientation I'm supposed to go to, a**hole?
