Of Professors and Bums

I noticed the weirdest and saddest parallel the other day: how similar and often indistinguishable Berkeley professors (specifically engineering professors) are to Berkeley bums. Don't believe me? Read ahead.

• Both have frazzled, unkempt hair
• Both wear clothing that looks like it was once respectable, clean and/or fashionable
  
• Both are seen frequenting north side eateries such as Stuffed Inn and La Val's, voraciously scarfing down food, usually alone
• Both can be seen walking around with piles of papers and mumbling incomprehensible phrases in angry bursts
