| A famed English explorer was invited to
Dartmouth to tell of his adventures in the African jungle.
"Can you imagine," he demanded,
"people so primitive that they love to eat the embryo of certain
birds, and slices from the belly of certain animals? And grind up grass
seed, make it into a paste, burn it over a fire, then smear it with a
greasy mess they extract from the mammary fluid of certain other
animals?"
When the students looked startled by such
barbarism, the explorer added softly, "What I've been describing,
of course, is a breakfast of bacon and eggs and buttered toast."
