TIGER MAGAZINE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF MYRA GUPTA WANTS TO KNOW–IS IT SEX?

Name: Myra Gupta
Age: 19
Major: Anthropology…?
Hometown: Greenwich, CT
Eating club/residential college/affiliation: Tower/Whitman/Pi Sigma Alpha Tao (PSAT)

What’s your favorite newspaper? The New York Times

What’s the funniest joke you’ve ever heard? Okay, so there’s this great one I have, but it’s mostly funny because it’s about weasels. So these two weasels are unwinding at a local bar after a tough day, they’re having a few drinks, chatting, eating some nuts, typical weasel behavior. But one of the weasels isn’t holding his liquor well, and turns to the other and says: “I slept with your mother.” The other weasel ignores him, trying not to make a scene, but he repeats: “I slept with your mother!” The whole bar goes quiet, things get really tense. The other weasel turns to him and says, “Dad, go home, you’re drunk.” Endjoke.

What’s your favorite Tiger Mag article? Difficult to say, I love all my children equally, but I’m going to have to go with “Is It Sex?” (Warning: It is definitely rated NC-17)
