Scrabble Player Disappointed to Find That 'Vagina' Only Worth 11 Points

BLOOMINGTON - Sitting down to a round of the popular board game Scrabble with two of his fellow dorm residents, Indiana University student Brent Saddler was disappointed to discover Monday that the word "vagina" yielded a pretty dismal return of just 11 points.

Initially impressed at his seeming ability to construct the word out of what seemed to be a problematic combination of letters, the 20-year-old Performing Arts major spawned enthusiastic chuckles among fellow players Jeremiah and Lindsey.

However, upon calculating the score for the 6-letter word, which he had adjoined to the existing word "regular", Saddler is reported to have ceased laughing - realizing only too late that he could have gained more points simply by placing the letters G-L-A-Z-E before the final letter of the word "thanked".

"Damn it," he cursed. "How on Earth does "vagina" not get me, like, 78 points? Shouldn't I get 50 points just for using a dirty word?"

"This game sucks ass."

Meanwhile, setting himself back a potential 10 points, Saddler nevertheless rounded off his participation by rattling off the word "dickfingers" for a questionable, if fucking hilarious 22 points.
