Recycling: not just for old jokes
BY DAVID JAKIELO

Loyal readers (my mom and dad) know that I tend to avoid serious issues in my opinion column and instead use it as a forum to see how many times I can use words like "herpes."

So, imagine my surprise when I received an e-mail regarding Junior Jocularity from Shannon Gilbert, the President of Duquesne University's environmental organization, Evergreen. I had particular interest in Shannon's letter based on the fact that it was not "hate mail," a death threat or a piece of junk mail trying to sell me a product that promised to "increase the size of my manhood" (note: they claim these products come in pill form but I think it's actually a subscription to Sports Illustrated).
