Luckily for me, I didn't have to drive to State College to get her. Instead, she got a ride home with a friend. I met them down in College Park at about 9PM on Friday night. I didn't notice until we got home and were sitting in the kitchen that Hannah has the remnants of a black eye. When we asked how it happened, she said that she got hit by a door. Hmmm.
I didn't press her on it but I guess that's a plausible story. In fact, I remember the same thing happened to Bob Pankuck back in college. Bob was standing in the foyer at Kappa Sig, in the middle of a conversation late one night. While he was standing there, someone plowed through the front door. Bob caught the impact of the front door full on in the face. Luckily for him, he'd had quite a few Old Milwaukee "sleeping pills" that evening and didn't even remember it happening. But, he had two black eyes to show for it for quite some time.
So, I'll take Hannah at her word. However, let's imagine how she might have gotten her black eye:
- Perhaps she got it when she was rolling that TV van in the middle of the "Joe Pa got fired" riot down on College Avenue. Hasn't every Penn State student claimed responsibility for that?
- It could happened while she was throwing the Occupy Penn State faction out of the Hub. I mean, you've got to think that she's on the side of the 1%, right?
- Or, maybe it happened when she tried to cut in line among all those who were camped out earlier this week to see "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1." Actually, I hope she's got better taste than that.
