Hi Linda and others, You're right. I can't believe I missed it. Marty wrote me about it, and I'm wondering when I got to be so humor-challenged. I guess I could plead end-of-the-semester snow blindness or something. Thanks for your post. Beth -- >From: "Linda M. Woolf, Ph.D." <[EMA

Beth, I agree that wanting the special treatment wasn't funny (sadly, I get these each semester too, and never give in); it was the part about doing an intern (as opposed to an internship) that I found funny. marty -Original Message- From: Beth Benoit [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wed

I didn't find Marty's post funny, but not because I'm offended, think he's insensitive or any of the reasons on that little private list some TIPSters seem to keep which decides which posts are politically incorrect. The reason it's not funny to me anymore is that I get AT LEAST ONE of these ever

My TA received the following email from a student yesterday. Before reading it, please note that I love my students (well, most of them), and I'm not doing this to make fun of the student who sent it, but just because I find it to be hilarious and I hope somebody else gets a laugh out of it too.
