Aside from recently being named the “sexiest major on campus”, other benefits of being a Communications major are that you get to have professors like David Eisenhower (I bet you can’t guess who his grandpa is!) and get all-expense-paid trips to exciting places like Los Angeles, Boston, or — lucky for me — Kansas City, MO.
While the purpose of the trip was to do research at the Harry Truman Presidential Library for my Communication and the Presidency class, I did manage to get in some sightseeing. After four days in Booneyville, it’s no surprise that I was missing the City of Brotherly Love.
Fortunately for me, this monument, located two blocks from my hotel, made me feel much more at home in the “Show Me State.” (Is it just me, or does that state motto creep you out too?)
Needless to say, this bench is not used as a frat boy urinal, and all the tourists could safely take photographs sitting on Benny Boy’s lap without the risk of contracting a disease.
