Q: America's first fraternity was founded at William & Mary College on December 5th, 1776. What was the name of that fraternity?
A: Phi Beta Kappa. Fraternity brothers are very close. In fact, two guys in my fraternity were so close they were never separated. Unfortunately, that was the last time we could use Super Glue during Hazing Week.
Q: On December 5th, 1908, which university became the first football team to wear numbers on their uniforms?
A: The University of Pittsburgh, which made it much easier to identify players being carried off the field. This also allowed players to receive full credit for a math course. What I always wanted was to see numbers on the cheerleaders- you know, telephone numbers, addresses, measurements.
Q: Who was the only president who dipped snuff and became famous for missing his spittoon? Today, December 5th, is his birthday.
A: Martin Van Buren. He was also the only president whose hobby was rooster fighting. Between the snuff and the roosters, you really had to watch your step around Van Buren.
