Prof. Hyde: You mean the customer service department.
Dr. Jekyll: Yes, anyway, they insisted that I grant an "incomplete" to the poor young lady. After much deliberation, I agreed.
Prof. Hyde: You are a sucker!
Dr. Jekyll: I set a deadline of Craptober 30 for her to finish the incomplete. She contacted me on...
Prof. Hyde: Wait, let me guess. Craptober 29!
Dr. Jekyll: No need to be so cynical, my good man. She contacted me on Craptober 15.
Prof. Hyde: Doesn't that mean she crammed about ten weeks of a semester into two weeks?!?
Dr. Jekyll: Yes, it does, but she is an adult after all. That wasn't the issue. Multiple rounds of negotiation were required to schedule her exams. Apparently, she felt it reasonable that I bend over backwards to meet her oddly crowded schedule.
Prof. Hyde: Well, if she is a full time student this semester and she is trying to finish off incompletes for all her classes last semester, her schedule is likely crowded. Dare I ask how she did?
Dr. Jekyll: Let's just say she should have just re-taken the class, which is offered in multiple sections every semester. That's what I advised her when she first asked for the incomplete.
Prof. Hyde: Sucker!
Dr. Jekyll: I shall now take my leave so that I might meet my good friend Bubba to enjoy a bourbon.
Does Bubba have to pay for drinks for both of you, or just one of you?
