Not this one either.
A girl reading The Aeneid on the subway is approached by a random older man.
Guy: What are you reading?
Girl: The Aeneid.
Guy: Oh, I remember reading that. I liked the Iliad better.
Girl: Me too. I can’t wait to finish this so I can read the Metamorphoses.
Guy: Oh man, I love Kafka.
Girl: Yeah, me too, he’s awesome.
As Kafka says, “God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.”

@anonymouse Meh.
@I dont get it how is this funny…or amusing? I seriously dont get it.
@Anonymous We read Ovid’s MetamorphosEs in Lit Hum, not Kafka’s MetamorphosIs. Since we’re fancy well-read Columbians, we’re supposed to laugh at the mixup, thassall.
@Anonymous I read Kafka’s Metamorphesis as well as Ovid’s in my Lit Hum class. This post just isn’t funny.
@Anonymous Unfortunately, no one can live up to your superiority, we shall all bow down and praise your literary acomplishments
@Come at me bro I’ve read Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” in German and Ovid’s “Metamorphoses” in Latin.
@soooooo kafkaesque of you bro.
@false The Aeneid is far superior to the Iliad and any other literary work ever.
@Anonymous Agreed, The Aeneid is wonderful. Homer is bland, Virgil is beautiful.
@OH LAWDS > implying the Aeneid isn’t a piece of propaganda *and* blatantly derivative of Homer.
@false Oh, I am quite aware that it’s both propaganda and derivative of Homer. Two facts that heighten the piece, in my opinion.
@This is a silly argument. This is a silly post. Dear Lions, let’s learn to be a little less self-conscious.
@Anonymous *facepalm*
@man up. embrace the cold.
@Dude I don’t think you understand, it is like, really cold. Cold enough that I am posting on Bwog about it. Just think about that for a second. Shit’s like a Columbian Ice Age.
@Track says: It’s just you.
@Is it just me or is it really, really cold in Butler?
@Totally unrelated: It is really cold in Butler.
@Anonymous Reading LitHum/CC books make me feel super intellectual even if I don’t understand anything.
