That’s The Dorm Norm

(I work in a building on a college campus that used to be a dormitory, but was converted to office suites. My office has a view of the college’s baseball diamond. A professor and I are talking.)
Professor: “You’ve got a great view. The only thing that could be better would be if there was a game going on right now.”
Me: “Yeah, it’s a really nice view.”
Professor: “I suppose you’d have to get on the roof to get a really good view of a game, though. This use to be a dormitory, right?”
Me: “Yes, sir. One of my coworkers lived in this building when he was in college.”
Professor: “Hmm, so there must be an attic. Imagine the things that might be stashed up there from when it was a dormitory.”
Me: *thoughtfully* “…bongs.”
