College Fix: A comedian performing at Purdue University caused numerous students to walk out of the performance and left others in tears.
Andy Gross was invited to do his act at The Boiler Gold Rush, the university’s new student orientation. “(At first) it was fine,” a freshman in attendance said. “They showed a tape of him going around with half his body cut off and he pulled a bowling ball out of a piece of paper.”
But soon Gross invited a female student to assist him on stage, and that’s when things got … uncomfortable.
According to WISH-TV, the student left the stage crying after Gross “told her to move closer to him, joked about being sexually aroused and instructed her to touch his leg.”
“Press up against me, back to back, cheek to cheek,” he can be heard telling her. “I need you to take your left hand and place it on my leg.”
The Exponent reports Gross also made jokes about — gasp! — former NBC news celebrity Matt Lauer, who was ousted from his position after sexual assault allegations were made against him. more here
Here’s some of his performance. Looks like a case of little pussy snow flakes to me.

Daughter Dearest worked for the Exponent decades ago while pursuing her pro writing degree. Their write-up is a straight forward account of what took place. Looks like some elements of the school sent in the psych squad to help the snowflakes heal.
Dang, one of my grandsons was probably in attendance as an incoming Freshman. He’s MAGA all the way, and he probably would have walked out. Can’t wait to ask him. He has a great sense of humor, but doesn’t suffer B.S. and has a healthy respect for himself and women, except for Hell liar.
Global Warming my ass, more and more snowflakes falling right through the summer months
Hope we never have to count on these kids militarily. They’ll surrender quicker than the French.
A shame that Rodney Dangerfield
is gone. He could have smashed them
into a million pieces without their
realizing he just ran over them with a truck.
The reality is just about everyone would be better off skipping college.
College today is just the 13th-16th grade. But with booze.
John –
Feeling blue, sad, tired, cranky, pissed, or disgusted???
Youtube some Rodney…everything will be better.
Andrew Dice Clay, Lisa Lamparelli or Anthony Jeselnik would have probably caused mass casualties at Purdue with their acts. Heck, these students probably couldn’t have handled Carlin – maybe next year a Sponge Bob marathon would be in order. Seriously, the school sent in counselors as a result of this routine?
Here’s a tip for these students: never get out of school. You will not be able to handle the real world, and the “toxic males” will eat you for lunch on their way up the societal ladder. You are destined to be road kill on the highway of life. You currently live in the safest society in history, and you still can’t handle it.
Wyatt,
You don’t need to be a professional, I left quite a few in a puddle of tears twenty years ago when I was in college.
I sent the article to Daughter Dearest (see above). We both agreed we would have walked off stage if someone spoke of having an erection in regards to either of us.
However, we both would have slapped the guy across the face before walking off, and neither of us would require the psych squad. Just a drink with friends who would marvel at our backhands.
