If they don't work, they wouldn't have to be abolished. Problem is they do work in selecting faculty.

Agreed. I thought it was an absolute hoot. Seeing Hugh Grant as Tony the Tiger but shirtless and wearing face paint and viking horns and leading a protest..... The allusion wasn't very subtle but I thought it was hilarious.
But then again, I thought the 3 Stooges and the Marx Brothers were high art.
And for those of you north of the 49th parallel and old enough to remember, I absolutely loved Wayne & Shuster back in the day. Some sample W&S humor:
"That's not Ojibway writing saying Ma Day in Oh Sha Wa. It says Made in Oshawa."
Also -
A Roman centurion walks into a bar. "I'll have a martinus."
"Don't you mean martini?" asks the barkeep.
Says the Centurion "When I want 2, I'll ask for 2. What's the matter don't you speak plain Latin???"
Still cracks me up
