   	To be fair, does anybody remember the verses, or is it just   
   the S&M club refrain that we go for?   
      
   	If you want a sad Charles in Charge story, how about this: in   
   my undergraduate days I saw an episode in which Charles was running for   
   student government at his university.  I noticed this because he was   
   attending Rutgers, which at the moment I actually was doing.  I tried   
   to write a little humorous piece about the show getting all the details   
   of how Rutgers's student government wrong, but the Rutgers student paper   
   on which I worked at the time [1] had no editor other than me who thought   
   this was even vaguely funny.   
      
   	[1] We had a couple of writers who became unpaid interns at   
   Late Night for various terms, but were never able to parlay this into   
   anything interesting to us.  Bear in mind, this was in 1993-94, when   
   you really had to have faith to be a Conan fan.
