Let me introduce you to the library.
A student is working on a final research paper for the class I'm teaching this term. S/he emailed me hir thesis, and asked if I knew any relevant articles. I suggested a couple, and then mentioned one that I thought was particularly helpful and to the point. S/he then emailed me back to say, "Okay, great--just send that article along to me, and I'll check it out."

Yikes!
They think it's all just like ... an imaginary TV job in which you don't actually have to you know, work.
(p.s. my word verification? "stanked." As in, "for real, that student's question, it just stanked the hell out of my office."
That is priceless. Perhaps that will be the second t-shirt I print after "It's on the syllabus."
In retrospect, that really does have to inspire a smile or a chuckle within you, doesn't it? :)
Retrospect? Hell, I chuckled right then.
