"Don't you people have homes?"

This evening, I had the opportunity to use one of my favorite catch-phrases from college.

Ah yes, those were the days. At 9 pm, or 10 pm, or 11 pm on any given night, the Stamp Union Program Council President, Tom Meixner, might swing by the "office" (aka hangout central for our 150+ members) and find anywhere from 5 to 20 people chatting, flirting, debating, playing catch, or what have you. He always acted astonished to see us, and he always made the same sarcastic remark. We always responded by laughing, or smiling, or playing along with a deadpan sarcastic response. Because of course we had homes (or at least dorm rooms). It's just that those homes generally lacked what we found in abundance at our program office - members of the opposite sex.
