An email from my HIST 316 prof:

"Dear class,
Time constraints and senility led me to forget a subject that I intended to
raise with you last Thursday. As this week's class takes us in new
directions (i.e. towards issues of race and sexuality), please allow me to
put the matter to you now: Did fish and chips save England from revolution
during the 1930s-- or perhaps at other times? You might think that I've
taken to hard core drugs but I'm in earnest."

I'm fairly certain the man only ever sends email at three in the morning. *amused headshake*
