Dr. Jekyll: Thank you for attending Polly PhD's dissertation proposal defense, Sam Silverback. Having someone of your experience was very valuable for Polly. And double thanks for giving Polly some useful citations to consider.Prof. Hyde: Of course, half the papers you mentioned were your own and none was newer than 1979, three years before Polly was born. And double thanks for mentioning research that has been superseded three or four times over. Have you not clued into why no PhD students want to work with you?

Dr. Jekyll and Prof. Hyde:
I know that I am supposed to use the appeals board process to ask for an alternative final exam date. However, my situation is really special and besides, Prof. Silverback is letting me take his final early. Can I take your final early?
-Susie Speshal
Dr. Jekyll: *headdesk* Why do I even bother following university procedures when colleagues like Prof. Silverback undermine us all by circumventing them?
Prof. Hyde: Mr. Poole, to the chemist with you! Time to create a special batch for Prof. Silverback!
