When I visited Amor’s blog, I saw her post a quotable quote from UP Professors. Finding it quite amusing, I went on to visit the site she has linked on her page.

Some might find these quotes obscene; others might find it sarcastic, but for those belonging to the UP community, it is something that we could all laugh together at.
