    Very cool that you used the young Twain, the go-getter and after-dinner speaker, rather than the old Twain we usually see. Notice how askew the bow tie is. There’s a joke inside that head, a sense of fun.

    Which is at the heart of the educable mind. Otherwise why would so many of your undergrads go to basketball games in body paint?

    I always considered this a citation from “The Devil’s Dictionary” by Ambrose Bierce.
