i just came across the ultimate in por-ing yesterday. the PA was interviewing 3 prospective runners to replace my upperstudy.

so she asked: "if you do anything wrong, then i will scold you a lot. can you handle that."

pretty desperate prospective runner, who doesn't know what he's getting himself into (poor sad soul): "it would be a privilege." deadpan. stoic even.

me and my upperstudy were jsut rolling on the floor laughing for a good 5 minutes. i realised it wouldn't be so funny if i were to spend the next year and a half with this guy. eek.
