Mascot Madness

A man walks by another man who is reading a newspaper while walking. The man with the newspaper walks into a light pole with a loud CLUNK! The man walking by starts laughing so he isn't paying attention that he's about to walk right into an open manhole.
April 19, 1966
It is funny when people hurt themselves. The newspaper guy is fine. His ego will just be bruised for a couple days. Now proto-Brutus will be very hurt. Bones will be broken and that's if he survives.

Brutus and his blond coworker whose name I forget are at work, standing in front of the watercooler. The blond guy strikes up a conversation "Your office March Madness brackets are perfect. What's your secret?" Brutus answers "Actually, I let my son fill them out." "No kidding? He must be a college basketball expert." "He picked each bracket based on how much he liked each school mascot."
I was going to fill out a bracket for my work fantasy thing but the first game had been on for three minutes when I logged in. Oh well.

Screenshot from a Threads social post by Heather Buchanan reading: "Made my first march madness bracket, mostly based on how I reacted upon seeing the mascots. Go Xavier! And all the teams with dogs!" with a picture of the Xavier Blue Blob.
