I don't know, they could have some variation.
"Tear Down This Fence, Mr. Drake!" would be a pretty easy one.

Mirror Lake to be drained, surrounded by fences again
Mirror Lake is set to be fenced off starting on Monday as work begins once again to make the campus landmark more sustainable.
A well was drilled and tested as a part of a sustainability study that concluded last year, Dan Hedman, spokesman for Administration and Planning, said in an email. He added that the drilling of the well and the testing of the water cost $56,000.
The university is now investing in infrastructure so the groundwater well can be a long-term solution for the lake, Hedman said.
The project involves draining the lake again and installing pumps, meters and underground piping from the well to the lake.
The lake was drained after the 2013 Mirror Lake jump to allow for work on a sustainability study aiming to prevent water loss because of leaks in the lake’s structure. The study was also set to address maintenance issues related to deterioration of the lake’s walls.
The lake was refilled in August.
This phase of the project is set to cost $160,000, Hedman said, funded by Administration and Planning.
The work is set to be completed in May, depending on the weather, Hedman said.
“As always, we consider all factors related to the timing and realize there is never a perfect time to conduct this type of work on a popular campus feature. However, enhancing the sustainability of Mirror Lake is extremely important to the university’s long-term efforts,” Hedman said.
OSU had previously been using nearly 50,000 gallons of city water to fill Mirror Lake. Once the infrastructure for the permanent well is in place, Hedman said, it could save the university about $40,000 per year.
Last year’s sustainability study determined groundwater was a viable option for sustaining the lake, Hedman said. The study aimed to enhance the lake’s sustainability and safety.
The sustainability study cost about $28,000, Hedman said. As another result of that study, gravel was poured into Mirror Lake last May to reduce its overall depth to 5 feet to use less water and make the lake more sustainable, Hedman said.

miniature giant space buckeye!
Lol how the he'll does a "sustainability" study cost 28k. Any idiot can tell you installing a well pump is cheaper over the long term than using city water....
Let alone our agg dept. Which has lots of proffs and students that could have figured it all out in a couple of days.

Accident During Traditional Mirror Lake Jump
The Ohio State University said a man was pulled from Mirror Lake because of a medical emergency during the annual jump.
Ohio State University Director of Public Safety Vernon Baisden released the following statement:
"We are saddened to inform the community that on Wednesday morning, at approximately 12:20 a.m., an unidentified male was removed from Mirror Lake for a medical emergency. On site emergency responders immediately provided medical attention and he was transported to the Wexner Medical Center for further care. We will share additional details as they become available."
Columbus Police told 10TV a student had gone into cardiac arrest during the jump.
OSU Police quickly moved students away from the area around the lake while they investigated the incident.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Perhaps they did know what was best. In any event, I think we can stick a fork in jumping in mirror lake because it's done.
