Gotta love Mike.

I wish one of my professors would have offered me a free hog hunt. What an adventure.

I'd sign up for every one of his classes if I was a student there.

Just don't spoil the letter and tell us it was written by a bull dyke professor. ;^(

Unfortunately, it is fantasy. For all sorts of reasons, and not just legal ones, professors are under severe constraints in their treatment and behavior with students.

The first of these is "professionalism". And while granted there are far fewer professors about today that have it, those that do take every opportunity to punish those that don't.

In many cases, other than a letter grade, policy prohibits professors from commenting about students *at all*. Laws such as the Buckley Amendment prevent them from discussing student performance in any way that might be discovered by anyone other than the student, including their parents.

Many institutions even prohibit professors from issuing requested letters of recommendation, since such letters, if they contained negative information or opinion could be the basis of a lawsuit; and even if they were good recommendations, but *not good enough*, a lawsuit could result.

What he wrote about the student's "D-" grade that should have been an "F". Some professors say things like this to students out of pure meanness, and they are universally regarded as *ssholes for doing so. Undoubtedly, they also prefer subjective examinations, so they can abuse those students they just don't like. Extraordinarily petty people.

Finally, a professor who invited a student to a private social event would be immediately investigated for fraternization. This is so strictly enforced that wiser professors will insist that their office doors remain open when a student wishes a scheduled meeting with them.

As a lot, professors have a lot of personal anguish about student misbehavior that there is little or nothing they can do anything about. So I do not begrudge him his fantasy. However, he should make it very clear that what he wrote is of that realm.

n fact, I suspect you’ll be shaking like a blind lesbian at a weenie roast if we encounter hogs the size of the two I saw last weekend.

That's funny right there,I don't care who you are.

"Neither I nor our nation can tolerate another of your metrosexual missives. Nor can our nation survive without a revival of emphasis on character, responsibility, and personal integrity."

I'll 2nd that. My daughter spent some time explaining what an "emo" is. I still don't get it. Oddest bunch of kids I've ever seen.

[beyond the sea]

He's the best.
