Local professor’s coffee mug washed

Emotional crowds lined the corridor of an academic department today to celebrate the once-a-semester coffee mug washing by a member of the academic staff. After the varnish-like residue coagulated at the bottom of the mug had been scrubbed off, the mug was carried back to the professor’s office atop a velvet cushion. The gathered celebrants added to the festive atmosphere by throwing plagiarised undergraduate assignments into the air, and mumbling such words as they could recall from "Guadeamus Igatur."

The un-named professor responded to enquiries by confirming his intention to wash the mug again at the end of the next semester, "whether it needs it or not."
