Italian Club's Best Selling Point

Today I spent an hour manning a table for the English & Foreign Languages Department for a campus fair. It was kind of quiet, and sunny, so I think I picked up a bit of pink. I sat there with another gal, A., from the English department, trying to entice students to venture into English-themed curricula.

A student walks over and looks at some of the flyers we have, she asks a few questions.
Student: Hey, do you guys have any information about if there's an Italian club?
A: Well, we're English people, so we're not really sure.
I pick up the list of foreign language faculty and scan it.
Me: Here, your best bet is to talk to Professor --, he teaches Italian, so I'm sure he'd know.
Student: Ooh, he's hot.
A: There you go, all the more reason to go talk to him.

A handful of minutes later, another female student walks up.
Student 2: Uh, do you guys know anything about Italian club?
A: No, but apparently we need to check it out.

Sounds like we all might need to check it out.
