6. He's a male Bush. He was kind of obligated to go.

I always found it strange that his daughters didn't graduate from prep schools, as has been the custom of affluent New England families for decades. Maybe it was a PR stunt to show he "has faith in pubic <sic> school system."

I wonder how things would have turned out had he had a son.

7. Because he was playing Monopoly and got a card that said

"Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200."

And with his reading problem, he read it "jail" as "Yale," although he didn't understand why he couldn't collect $200, since it would cost at least that much to keep himself in beer and cocaine for the first week.
