A friend of mine who teaches at an ultra conservative christian college in the South was told that he would have to bear witness and speak in tongues as a condition to get tenure. So he began taping schizophrenic word salads from a nearby mental institution,church services of the church of the Nazarene,square dancing calls.and an auto repo auction. He mixed them all up on a mini tape recorder.When he approached the tenure committee,he went into a tremor and fell on the floor,pressed play on the mini tape and the mixed sounds were emitted.After 60 seconds, all the members of the committee shouted in unison "Alleluia!". (sp).He was granted tenure.I got a twit from him last week but I could not understand it. He was twitting in tongues.
