FW: Faculty heaven and hell

[Weisskirch, Rob]

TIPSfolk,   I wouldn't normally send a joke, but this one is apropos.   Rob Weisskirch Rob Weisskirch, MSW, Ph.D. Department of Child and Adolescent Studies California State University, Fullerton P.O. Box 6868 Fullerton, CA 92834-6868 (714) 278-2896 http://faculty.fullerton.edu/rweisskirch A professor died and was given the option of going to heaven or hell. She decided to check out each place first. As the writer descended into the fiery pits, she saw row upon row of faculty chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop, writing and analyzing madly. As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes. "Oh my," said the professor. "Let me see heaven now." A few moments later, as she ascended into heaven, she saw rows of faculty, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they, too, were whipped with thorny lashes. "Wait a minute!," said the faculty, "This is just as bad as hell." "Oh no, it's not," replied an unseen voice. "Here, your work gets published."
