ADOLESCENT PORN

I try to keep my adolescent humor to myself. For instance, the main street of Princeton is called Witherspoon. It's named after John Witherspoon, a president of the university and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Reese Witherspoon the actress is a descendant. For neither of these reasons I silently refer to the street as Withersporn. I keep it to myself. But I'm checking a book out of the library and accidentally call the street Withersporn. I am embarrassed and profusely apologize to the librarian. "Relax," she says. "At least once a day I find myself writing 'Princeton Public Library'."
