On a somewhat seamy street in the town near a prestigious college, an English major, a music major, and a computer science major were walking along discussing terms of venery--words that describe groups of animals, like "a pride of lions" or "an ostentation of peacocks".
As they were deep in discussion, they spotted a group of, shall we say, women of the night across the street. Naturally, their thoughts turned to the proper term of venery for this group.
The English major said, "Do you think that's a volume of Trollope's, or an anthology of English pros?"
The music major said, "I think it's a fanfare of strumpets."
The computer science major said, "No, no. It's a string of cash misses!"

That reminds me of a joke...
