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."
