Local comedic genius inquires as to whether resident re-wearing $30 shirt ran IB

A recent exchange in the dining hall left residents in awe when a third-year student threw an offhand comment to one of their peers, satirically asking whether the resident had, in fact, participated in the navigation-based endurance event. The inquiry was found to be a reference to the student’s decision to wear the yellow jersey, typically reserved for Inward Bound runners, to a touch rugby training session.

The Inquisition later contacted the resident for further details on the comment. “They get enough attention as it is,” they said. “They don’t need to rub it in our faces all the time.”

According to several eyewitnesses, the student responsible for the question made a strong effort to lodge their inquiry, repeating the question across the dining hall several times before receiving a response.

“I mean, it’s like, we get it.” The resident paused briefly, allowing two of the 2017 team’s twenty-eight participants to pass by before resuming the interview. “See? It is actually such a cult.”

The athlete declined to comment when consulted about her decision to use the garment after the conclusion of the event in October 2017. In the wake of the event, first-year students are strongly discouraged from asking where the jersey can be purchased.

Residents are anticipating similar humour in the lead-up to other events such as Neverest, City2Surf and River2Lake. It remains unconfirmed how the joke will be applied to arts events, which are yet to employ single-use uniforms. More to follow.
