Economics and the mid-life crisis have much in common: Both dwell on foregone opportunities

New Recruit for York University!
Most Likely the Department of Hydraulic Socionomology
About a month ago, I mentioned that a student in my introductory economics class had sent me e-mail expressing concern because I frequently said insulting things about York University and the students there. She also objected to my spelling of gubmnt. I never met this student, and I also have no idea what she looks like (she was one of 350 in the class).

Today my teaching assistant sent me the grades for the class. My correspondent earned a mark of 39 (out of 100, not out of 40 as one person wondered). I figure she's a prime candidate for York's Sociology department. Jack figures she's likely to sue me for discrimination.

Get ready for the Ontario Human Rights Commission. I am sure there is an implicit right for an A grade.

You're in for it now! -- I suspect this means that you'll have to see her again next quarter/summer/year?

But, then again, I don't like confrontation, so why can't we all just be friends?

I expect that in a battle of wits she will prove to be nearly defenseless.

39 out of 100? She could easily be a dean.
