My favorite Everett Collier story.

Some years ago when a certain college changed its name to a university, Mr. C apparently laid this one on two Ph. D. neighbors in the vicinity of Campus Drive-Campus View. He informed them that the former college-now-university had requested that the post office change the names of the two drives to something like "University Drive" and "University View."

After all, the university officially named the path leading to College Hall "University Drive." So, why not change Campus Drive and Campus View?

This story, expressed so believably, sent the blood pressure of the two doctoral gentlemen to heights never seen before. One of the two actually consulted me on the matter. As if I'd know the answer. He inquired if the name changes were real, or was Everett "pulling one over on us?"

"Everett is pulling one over on you," I said, somewhat uncertain myself.

"Are you certain? He sounded pretty convincing."

"Yeah, I'm certain."

Knowing the two doctoral gentlemen as I do, I image their scheme to get back at the former postmaster will be one to remember. I'm still waiting and I know it will be worth the wait.
