SPOILERS! (Click to view)

A kid from the Bronx is accepted into Harvard.
On the 1st day, he's walking around the campus, lost.
He approaches another student.
"Hey man. Where is the library at?
The other student replied "Just a moment my dear fellow. Here at Harvard, we never end a sentence with a preposition."
"Okay. Where is the library at motherfucker?
