Mis-relationship advice and myths unraveled
What's up Behrend? I'm Jimmy. Yes it is a soft J, deal with it. The
way 1 see it. there are all kinds of ladies out there having trouble with
the men in their lives. Seeing as how I've been one since I was born.
it is only fitting that some of the wisdom I've acquired be passed on
to vou. This week's letters have come from some of Behrend's finest
ladies. Their names have been concealed so as not to embarrass them
or the sorry excuses for significant others they are dating
Q: Why is it that guys feel the need to text message instead of call?
Is it because you are used to communicating with a girl via your
hands?
A: This is an easy one. I personally hate text messages, but some
guys are just more comfortable getting their feelings across that way.
It equates to less grunting from us and eliminates awkward pauses.
Think of it this way, we are taking time and putting thought into what
we say to you instead of blurting out a "that's what she said" joke.
Q: What should I do if my boyfriend insists that dousing himself in
Axe is equivalent to a shower?
A: Axe is not equivalent to a shower. Febreeze is. In fact, it counts

Hey my babies. Let's get a few things down toi
this week's Beacon and then
everyone can go off on their
Easter weekend, or non-Easter
regularjoe-schnioe weekend for
all the non-Christians in the
house.
Let's discuss those couples
that make out in the crowd at
rock concerts. Excuse me. I
paid to see the artist on stage,
not your tonsil-licking fest.
Besides, if I wanted to watch
foreplay all night I would have
stayed home and watched porn.
Ohio State got owned once again this past week
by Florida. Maybe one day Ohio State's teams will
stop choking in the big games. And maybe one day
both states will stop effing up presidential elections

Axe is just the icing on the cake for you ladies. If you find the smell
repulsive, get us something better. We like presents, too. Pick some
thing you like, and regardless of how it smells, if we think it turns you
on, we'll use it.
Q: What should I do if my boyfriend constantly uses the words
`dude." "solid," and "deeecent'?"
A: As it turns out, we are in Erie, PA not California. Your boyfriend
may have caught what experts call "surferitisosis." If this is the case,
you need to take action immediately. Search his room. If you find
something called "sex wax," don't get excited it's probably for his
long board, and by long board I mean a type of surfboard. Remove
any copies of the movie Point Break, any of Bill and Ted's Adventures,
or Ninja Turtles. If you do this you should be alright.
Q: Is it just a Behrend thing where all the guys on campus feel that
they are capable of fixing anything? Or is that just a menacing prob
lem pervasive in all of society?
A: It is man's nature to create and preserve our property. Being
forced into a dorm room limits the male's ability to exercise this urge.
Now in most cases ladies, you are more than capable of doing the
repair yourself, but it makes us feel important and useful.

I'll rephrase that, all us ladies who have at least

nights we go out to the bars and parties...duh.
What's the difference?
many of you undoubtly spent countless hours try
o determine the differences in last week's Foxy

the first week in April.
