This was oft-quoted at my college, Haverford, because of the reveal that Dale Cooper went there (we used to joke that our most famous alumni were Dale Cooper, Chevy Chase - who went but got kicked out after a semester - and Tom Haverford).

Best part is that whoever wrote the college section clearly either went to Haverford or was friends with someone who did; they really nail the feel of the school and the sometimes odd relationship with the women's college next door.

Here's the entry from Coop's childhood that stayed with me for 25+ years.

Have completed my after-school study of asparagus and its effect on pee. The results are as follows:

Broccoli - no smell.
Potatoes - no smell, except for the ones made at Duva's Café that they put the chili on.
Meat - no smell.
Fish - some smell, if they were in the shape of sticks.
Chicken - no smell.
Conclusion: There is a something in asparagus when cooked by my mother that is like no other food.
