MEGAN: Professor, why does it always rain in stories?

HOBO: It's often symbolic of cleansing or purification of a character.



BILLY: Like in Sorority House Slumber Party 4 when they all take a shower together?

HOBO: No, that's titillation, and not symbolism.



AMANDA: So it's more like in Bridesmaids when they all get food poisoning and probably took long showers afterwards?

HOBO: No, that's scatological, and not symbolism.



TREY: More like in a Friday the 13th film when Jason is hacking everyone up and they keep slipping in the mud trying to get away?

HOBO: No, that's trite, and not symbolism.



JABEZ: Then we give up. Give us another example.

HOBO: Well, for instance, this window might be a symbol. Windows often symbolize freedom, or lack thereof.



RICK: Freedom from what?

VICTORIA: We don't understand!
