Stop Screwin' Around. You Guys Screw Around Too Much
Tomorrow, the law students association at Boston College Law School will host its annual Boston Harbor boat cruise. Most law schools in the greater Boston area do some version of this. I've been on many, though I remember none.
But I guess it's exactly that kind of drunk boat behavior that the BC cruise team are sick of. A tipster sent along sternly worded email in advance of tomorrow night's festivities:
Unfortunately, over the past several years, we have had some troubling incidents on the boat cruise that have marred this event. These incidents were all caused by excessive alcohol consumption.
Is there any point to being on a boat in the middle of Boston Harbor unless you intend to consume alcohol excessively? It's not like you can fish, swim, or gamble. What else are you supposed to do?
The email goes on to list specific incidents that have "marred" the boat cruise in the past:
One year, a law student was detained and arrested by the State Police while trying to board the boat while intoxicated. A few years ago, the boat was forced to return to port shortly after leaving dock because of a seriously intoxicated student on the cruise. Last year, there was a fight between two law students and one sustained a serious, and possibly permanent, injury.
As our tipster aptly put it, "I'm still trying to figure out if this was meant as a warning or an advertisement."
Tickets are still available!
The full email is reprinted after the jump.
