You Don't Say!
I'm in the middle of a grading marathon. 75 research papers. The following is a quote from one I just finished reading. Please do not ask what the topic of the paper was. Because I never found it. It is probably just way too artsy and over my head.
"Say a person wants a Penthouse magazine. What kind of a picture is taken? Here the women will most definitely be unclothed. This is considered naked."

That is an incredible example of the logical process. I am astounded.

As you should be, Mad Grad. I am working with the cream of the crop.
Of course, it is a crop of black mold.

That is the most brilliantly succinct account of nuclear fission I've ever read! That kid needs a publisher!
Or maybe just a mild beating.

Okay. So I need to make sure that I have understood what your student is telling us. Unclothed is the same as naked. Is that correct?
How do you work up the strength to get through all of these papers?

This is his point, you see. Unclothed is distinct from nekkid. Arteests paint the nudes and not-arteests take the pichers of the nekkid. Why's you people so obtuse??

This is what academic writing looks and sounds like to students. The only difference is that we phuds make the same sorts of ridiculous statements with purtier words.
Speaking of purty. . . Candy, you sher do have a purty mouth.

Of course if she came over to my house, here she would be unclothed as well.*
*assuming, of course, she met our rigorous quality assurance standards.

I meant to say, "unclothed here as well" however, I apparently lack the same succinct literary clarity and style as your students.

This is college, right? Not the fourth grade?

Say a person wants a Soldier of Fortune magazine. What kind of a picture is taken? Here the Mercenaries will most definitely be clothed. In camo. This is considered Macho. Say a person wants a Martha Stewart Living magazine. What kind of a picture is taken? Here the women will most definitely be wearing pearls and oven mitts. This is considered womanly and domestic.
Me, I like Modern Bowling Illustrated. Featured this month: "Are you renting the shoe that's right for you?"

Steve, it's not college. It's "community" college. Which is 4th grade.

Tony, picture Martha Stewart with an M-16, in bowling shoes.
Yeah, I can't either.

Would that be Bowling for Martha Stewart's Fortune?

Great idea for a reality show.
Figures Martha would like to bowl...ever since she did time in the Big House, she's veered toward the gutter.
