   Actually, most professors here are adjuncts.  So far all of them   
   wanted   
   copies of my PDFs!  I scored quite a few brownie points.   
   Not only that, buy there's this girl whose parents said they would pay   
   for   
   half of a car - she had to save the rest.  Thanks to my efforts she   
   can   
   get her car a semester early.  I discussed it with my boss and got   
   permission to price out a certified '09 Ford Fusion SE with AWD!   
   We're   
   giving it to her at invoice - with some help from me.  She knows I'm   
   making the deal.  She takes delivery on Friday.   
   I am soooooooo in!   
      
   ****************************************************************   
      
   So you think she's gonna give up some pussy?   
      
   Or maybe she'll just string you along and give it to Johnny down the   
   street.   
      
   Time will tell.
