While picking up some financial aid forms at one of the Universities here in
the Twin Cities, I came across a pamphet discussing different loan programs,

the much more humorous ones was one for Twin City Federal, which was titled
"Get a Degree without the Third Degree", followed by a bogus student loan
application which looks something like this:
