Overheard: Please, spare me the details.

Again, this is not strictly an 'overheard' as it's something I heard in good faith while taking lecture notes in the weird and wonderful goldmine that is ... the games department.

Sometimes, mid-lecture tutors divert from the information they're delivering, drift into the past and begin recounting 'back-in-the-day' type tales. Some such tales are more worthy of being caught writing them down than others.

I consider this nasally offensive nostalgia trip particularly worth it:

Lecturer, reminiscing:

We even had a scratch and sniff text based game.

It was disgusting….

[Pause]

There was even a ‘lewd’ mode ….

Thankfully [or perhaps not] he left the precise details of what scent that entailed to our own imagination.
