Overheard on the Road: York University

TA: Has anyone studied any other existential works?
Female student: Well, I have read excerpts from Nietzsche and I did a paper once on the Myth of Syphilis...
(Laughter.)
TA: Oh, you must mean the myth of Sisyphus ... 'cause I'm pretty sure the other one is not a myth.

I'm pretty sure if you asked Nietzsche, he would agree that Syphilis wasn't a myth...
