Shiver my timbers and tickle my Elmo!

Madison Cheeseater Post Dispatch, March 13, 2010
The funeral and memorial service was held today for the University of Wisconsin Law Professor who had committed suicide due to allegations regarding undergraduate tickle parties. Professor Elmo Lee was found hanging from a fixture in his office after the University Provost announced that it would be investigating allegations that the tenured professor had coerced and harassed his graduate students into allowing him to tickle and otherwise make free with their bodies in order to maintain their place in academia.

Strangely none of his colleagues attended his memorial even though he was often seen splitting a hamburger and a small beer with other of his parsimonious brethren. What was remarkable was that a large contingent of the local waiters and bartenders did attend and took the opportunity to both spit and dance on his grave.

Apparently adults tickle other adults in a country distant from any I have known. Didn't tickling used to be a pre-pubertial thang? Ah well, one more indication that I am totally (and well) out of it.

Suppose that the Professor had been found in a closet with a rope tied to more than one thing?

What's wrong with that photo is that most open casket funerals are not open mouth.
