Quip Witted Challenge

In the past we’ve given you some really difficult challenges, asking you to write “memoirs” and “fiction”. And mendacious true stories. So, we’ll go easy on you this time. Ahem! <Clears throat> We hereby challenge you to write <Cue dramatic drum roll!> a fortune cookie! An OLLI themed fortune cookie. Like this one.

Or, if you’re glucose intolerant even online, you can go for a bumper sticker, a tattoo, or a cake. Or any other format where brevity is essential. Like this.

You don’t have to include the artwork.  Just say something like “A bumper sticker that says ” <Killer phrase here>”.  We’ll supply the art.

Let me repeat that, in case you were wool gathering. You don’t have to include the artwork.  Just say something like “A bumper sticker that says ” <Killer phrase here>”.  We’ll supply the art.

“Too easy!”, you say? “Up the ante a bit!”, you say? Well, OK.

Tell us in fifty words or less why you love OLLI-USF. Or to rephrase that a bit, tell us what you really like about OLLI-USF. (Why, yes. Now that you mention it, OLLI Connects is one legitimate answer! But flesh it out a little, OK?)

Still not inspired? Still not feeling it? Well, how about Memes? Brief! Succinct! Proof that you’re in tune with the times. Even if you do still use Facebook.

All right! We can already hear brain cells beginning to sizzle with the creativity engendered by lifelong learning.
