American Graffiti

I recently represented my graduate program at a career fair sponsored by a private Christian college.

Like any modern public restroom, the interior of the men's room bore the marks of small-time vandals.

However, as with this school's curriculum, the distinction between secular and sacred was hard to discern in this sacrosanct chamber.

On the wall were scrawled a smiley face, a scripture reference ("Psalm 19"), and "PTL" (shorthand for the religious idiom "Praise the Lord") with a cross drawn in place of the "T".

What ever happened to the separation of church and stall?
