Dear Pfister:
 
        Seriously, now, you've probably got complaints.
Well, I'm sorry.  I am fucked up.  Do you know I was 
speeding for my c467 presentation? I kept saying stuff like:
 
[Dr. Graper in front of class of 50]
DG:. . . .and of course, we see an obvious linear 
        positive relationship between sex and news
        item usage in media concerned conversational
        topics. . .
(Silly pain in the ass 50 year old continuing education
student):  But, can't that be explained by the weakness
        of your operationalization?
[Dr. Graper turns to look at Black board, thinking]
        -Oh Christ, they ALL know I'm fucked up!-
[Dr. Graper turns back around]
DG:  (Confidently addressing class) A weakness in op-
    erationalization can be expected in any questionnaire      
	type format don't you think?

Finally the presentation was over.  The professor
frowned.  It was a frown of failure.
I was sure it was the end.  Five times in the presentation
I forgot what people's questions were and answered them
randomly.
[Happy Ending]
Afterwards, most of my fellow students said stuff like,
"Best Presentation so far, Dave," and "Logically thought
out and sequenced.  Good work."
[Question]
Are they sincere?
