We believe a lot crazy talk comes out of GW - but we aren't sure we buy this one

[Editorial note: How would one even arrange a petting zoo to go? We call shenanigans]

Girl walking at GW campus on cell phone

"So it's our 8 month anniversary on Saturday and he said was going to send me something...so thats good whatever...Well today he calls me to ask if I am going to be in my dorm at all. I told him no and that I was really busy and just told him to call the 1-800 Flowers and make arrangements for tomorrow. He was like it's not flowers its more of a production. He sent me a petting zoo!!! Yea exactly a petting zoo with a pony and a monkey and everything. So I told him I didn't want to be touching smelly animals and to just send me an edible arrangement."

Hobos vs Hippies: The Epic Battle

Context: Connecticut Avenue around mid-day. Various Greenpeace fanatics around. One is professing her love of the environment on some yuppie. Another spots her next target: a tall man, long coat, just lit a cigarette.

"Hello! Hi!" says the young Greenpeace campaigner.
"Hey how goes it?" says the gruff tall man.
"Do you love the environment?"
"Yes, I do. I live in it." he says very matter of fact.
"That's great!" she exclaims.
"I'm homeless" he mentions.
"oh," her deflation is almost audible above the bustle of the street.

Then, deflated, the Greenpeace campaigner knows not the protocol for this certain situation and bids the tall gruff man goodbye. Love it.
