  2. ::raises hand:: I actually did copy-edit a thesis once. Once, okay? I know better now ... I thought it was something we were supposed to do. Not that my advisor did it for me. (Not that he had to, of course, she added defensively.)

  3. I plead guilty as charged, to 1, 3 (too eager), and 4. It's a miracle I squeaked through. It was only because of my astonishing awesomeness, of course (see 4). ;-)

  4. Not guilty to number 3 (too reluctant). There are two ways I will serve on a committee. No way and no fucking way.

    Want me to serve a committee? Make it worth my while. Money is terrific. Hooch will do. Sex will be considered. Cigars are good but only if we smoke them during the committee meeting.

    Short of those four possibilities (or a combination there of), then fucking forget it, Dean Time Sucker.
