yeah, i read it in university; english professors everywhere get a huge ***** for stephen leacock; i know he's supposed to be funny but i'd call it more whimsy than anything.
Except this is a friggin Geography paper. I think the prof went to school with Leacock.
edit: Ohhhhh, excellent point about the hardship issues. Never occured to me to examine that aspect. I'll save a few apple turnovers for you if I can. Yes another tough day of teaching tomorrow. Apple and cranberry turnovers. Next week is tougher. Test for the little angles and then double stuffed potaotos.
And I get paid to do this.
