WSU Joke

A Cougar joke I wrote just in time for Apple Cup:

It seems there was this fellow named Smythe who graduated from the Washington State University. He had decided to seek employment as a salesman for a haberdashery located in the city of Seattle. He procured an interview with the owner, one Mr. Longfellow, the following morning. Smythe arrived at Longfellow’s and took a seat in the parlor. Longfellow entered the room and said with a booming baritone, “I will hire you immediately for the position if you just name for me the patron saint of haberdashers.” Smythe stood up and wagged his finger, “Why that would be Saint Louis XI!” he exclaimed. Longfellow chortled, “You imbecile, the patron saint of haberdashers is Saint Louis IX, I can clearly see you were educated at an inferior university.” He then tossed out this zinger of a farewell, “and were I like thee, I would throw myself away in the rubbish bin.”
