10AM Why Grad Students Smoke So Much Pot

Student: I can't get this essay to say what I want it to say, and you aren't helping me!
Tutor: Well, what do you want to say, exactly?
Student: That you're an idiot who isn't helping me!
Tutor: So write that.
Student: ... Are you serious?
Tutor: Sure. Write your whole essay around it if you think you can support your argument.
Student: ... But you're the TA, so you'll be grading it later, right?
Tutor: Let me put it this way -- if you can write this argumentative essay well enough that I start to take your side, then I will give you an A for the semester.
Student: Can I get that in writing?
Tutor: Sure [writes it and signs it].
Student: Sweet. I'm head of the debate team, you know.
