About a third of the essays had the money enclosed. He returned them with the bills stapled to the front page.
Back in my teaching days at the university I had the great luck (ugh) to teach "Intro to Mass Media." It was a small cozy class with only 240 students enrolled. Long story short, one failing lady accused me of renigging on a sex-for-grade arrangement. Another lady stepped forward and told the Dean that I had turned her down and that she had a much better body than the accuser. Patricia, I don't know how you deal with it every year.
