My son is an Aggie. His favorite Aggie joke?
Q: What do you call an Aggie five years after graduation?
A: Boss.
Might be something to it. My son has been in his first job after graduation since May. Last week they made him a task lead on the engineering project he is working on.
To keep the flies off the bride.
That's an old one I first heard it in ‘57 the year I was an Aggie bride. :D
In 1964, I was a freshman at NYU, and played freshman basketball ( back i those days..freshman had separate teams. NYU was a national power in those day..often ranked in the top 10, and we played all our home games at Madison Square Garden. Anyways, that year, because the varsity team was so exceptional, the freshman team was invited to play in a little Christmas tournament in College Station. IIRC, it was NYU, A&M, Baylor, and I think SMU..Now except for family vacations to Florida, and a few school trips to DC, I’d never been south of New Jersey, so this was a BIG CULTURE SHOCK to me. Collge Station, back then, seemed like it was in the middle of nowheres. But I thoroughly enjoyed getting introduced to A&M coeds..quite beautiful all..my first experience with GRITS..(girls raised in the south)..BIG HAIR ( it didn’t move in a 40 MPH gale..and 3.2 beer...
