What I learned from this play:
1. It is probably not the best laid plan to entrust the delivery of an urgent piece of mail to the town goof.
2. If a woman who you are not on romantic terms with suddenly shows up at your residence for a lengthy visit(???), do not make her camp out in the backyard. Let her have the nicest bed...and change the sheets perhaps. Shakespeare didn't mention that part - i'm just extrapolating...
3. While it is great fun to hang out with a group of guys and obsessively watch/quote Seinfeld, Lebowski, etc, in reality such an activity does not fall under the mantle of academic scholarship and most women will probably make fun of guys for overdoing it.
The possible penalties for ignoring these guidelines may include one year of indentured servitude as a candy striper.
I really wish that I would have read this when I was in my early twenties...
Two additional thoughts:
1. This play made me want to hug the person who invented footnotes.
2. I can't wait for the next time someone pulls out in front of me while driving so that I can call that person a whoreson loggerhead.

Hey Misha, look what I found:http://monster-island.org/tinashumor/...
What are some of the insults, Eh? I barely remember Coming to America and don't think that I ever saw The Princess Bridge.
RA: I would say yes, and that nice sleeping bag that you have mentioned would probably work too! (Remember that we need to get a pic of the two of us together in our matching candy striper uniforms...)
Now that I type them out, they're much tamer than I remember. I was scandalized when I first heard them...I'm aging.diseased rhinocerous piss
warthog-faced buffoon
miserable, vomitous mass
Misha: How about something like "Rush Limbaugh, that beslubbering beef-witted applejohn, blasted the President's actions by saying..."It's not bias when you are speaking the truth...;)
Eh!: Those are good. I would probably freestyle an f-bomb or two between the adjectives, but that's just me...
I find cussing to be like dancing - I can stumble through stylized forms but leave the freestylin' to the pros and observe in awe. A friend has been trying to encourage my inner cusser to come out. I've managed to open up when I think I'm alone (especially while driving).
Shakespeare references candy stripers? Who knew? ;)
Oh lord, I just noticed a typo - I meant The Princess Bride, not Bridge. And I nearly made the same typo again in typing that.
Heh heh...I assumed that there was a film called The Princess Bridge that I wasn't aware of. Inconceivable! If it makes you feel any better I had to type very slowly each time to make sure that I didn't say candy stripper on this review/thread.Jackie: Rosaline does tell Berowne that he must use his acidic wit to entertain sick people for a year if he wants her love so I figured that was sort of like a candy striper...:)
The Princess Bridge and the movie Coming to America had insults that needed to be used, also.
