More than a few productions in the Loeb Experimental Theater have tried for originality simply by changing a play's setting and adding lots of sexual innuendo. While Rachel Sexton '00's production of The Misanthrope uses both of these devices, in this case, the added twists enhance the play's charm and the end result is both cosmetically and intellectually refreshing. Of course, Moliere's tale of the struggle between honesty and courtesy would be poignant in any age. Setting Moliere in the Roaring Twenties, though, works particularly well, since the excesses of 17th century Parisian society translate rather...
...number-crunching so often found in senior theses. Even if not a single academic curiosity is piqued by Don't Spit in the Soup We All Have to Eat: a History of the Dudley Cooperative House, at least the dust mites will become storehouses of esoteric facts and sexual innuendo...
...large, I wasn't unhappy with your piece on my election as president of the N.R.A., though it was laced with wry innuendo. I do, however, object to your coverage of my civil rights activities, which your writer reduced to a bare minimum.

Since they retain their eighth-grade personalities, the romancing and sexual innuendo of the first half of the play is spiced up with impromptu fist fights, Fritos breaks and such literary and urbane interpolations as "Oh, shit," "Get him, dude!" and "You the man"--a brand of humor whose effectiveness, unfortunately, cannot be adequately conveyed in transcription...
...Jones' case shows that an innocent bystander who has been promoted can now be subpoenaed and required to show that the promotion was based on merit and not on having slept with the boss. And who really thinks the poor sap who spoke at work about a sexual innuendo on Seinfeld should have been sued? And while a woman's sexual history is not relevant, her behavior after an alleged incident can reasonably be considered...
