Safire's Sunday column ... mentioned "jerk." I really like
this joke, which won a Life Savers monthly joke contest. It's
from the Columbia University Jester, vol. C, no. 8, May 1942,
pg. 6, col. 1:
"She walks with a decided jerk."
"Yes, isn't he?"
--Gerald Klingon '42
630 Hartley Hall
This "Klingon" name appeared frequently in the Jester.
Could that special someone on this list tell us where Klingons
come from? Is it Columbia University?
