Football At MIT – Funny Bone
A story is told about an MIT student who spent his summer walking all over the Harvard football field wearing a black and white striped shirt, blowing a whistle and throwing sunflower seeds on the field.
When it came time for the first Harvard home game, the referee walked onto the field and blew the whistle. The game had to be delayed half an hour until the birds got off the field.
The guy wrote his thesis on the experience and graduated.
