Especially during academic convocations or any other breed of mandatory lecture….
VMI men will get this and laugh. All others — best explanation I can muster is this: imagine yourself working eight or nine straight 19 hour days, then being “invited” to hear someone like Sandra Day O’Conner drone on about how you all were archiac, misogonyst dinosaurs before the Supreme Court set you straight. There couldn’t be a more uniform reaction if VMI was issuing ‘em.

EVERY rat in this picture is asleep. Classic
Rats + droning lawyer = instant narcolepsy
The Corps caught so much flak for that. You can believe that the Commandant’s Staff had no end of people watching us from that point on making sure no one was sleeping at mandatory naptime. . .er, I mean lectures.
Is my esteem at VMI supposed to go up or down after seeing an award bestowed upon Sandra Day O’Conner?????
Amazingly, the first class privates in the pic are awake, if regretting it. THAT is a miracle in and of itself!
While snoozing through a similar program at USAFA in 1975, one of the more viral feminists of the day was blaming all war on the sexual insecurity of men… a snoozer so far… but when she said “I have it on good authority that the average Air Force Academy cadet masturbates five times a week” everyone woke up! Way down in front of the auditorium a lone cadet stood up, turned, and facing the wing, yelled out “All right! Who is holding down the mean?” The place went wild! CDB and Tours for that guy, but he was a god amongst boys till graduation.
