While picking up some financial aid forms at one of the Universities here in
the Twin Cities, I came across a pamphet discussing different loan programs,
which also included advertisements for different banks in the area.  One of
the much more humorous ones was one for Twin City Federal, which was titled
"Get a Degree without the Third Degree", followed by a bogus student loan
application which looks something like this:
 
                               1st HUMONGOUS BANK
                            Student Loan Application
