“What’s with the interesting pen and mouse skeleton?” “Well my mother-in-law gave me this pen.. What do you think that says about how old she thinks I am? And the mouse, is a very… loving gift from my husband. It was very romantic of him… I guess he’s like a cat because he likes to give me dead animals.” “Do you have anything to say to your students?” “Well, to anyone taking exams: you need to think outside the box, not write outside the box.”
