I've always wondered this, but in every toilet (I always though it was just in the ladies but Tom informs me it's in the gents as well) on campus there's a small plaque with some poetry

One day I'll go back, take Pete, learn to tell the difference between sour cream and mayonnaise and stay away from the cabbage dumplings, especially for breakfast.
