I went to hand in my take-home test on The Merchant of Venice on Tuesday in English Comp 102, but - horror of horrors! - I had forgotten to double-space it.
My professor said, "It's single-spaced! Does it look single-spaced? Does it have webbed feet like it's single-spaced? Does it have a bill like it's single-spaced? Does water stream off its back like it's single-spaced? It could be just me, but it's either a duck or single-spaced."
A duck? Whoa whoa whoa. Where did he come up with that? He continues to prove that he mostly wants to be memorable. Well, I'm sure not forgetting this guy in a hurry.
(Of course, my English Comp 101 professor couldn't stand the word "noodle." I think you have to pass a strangeness test to teach English Composition...)
