The big laugh of the day

One of our group members, CQ, defended his proposals today for his PhD. In short, you write a proposal and you present it to your committee, and they grill you about it. It's something like your candidacy exam, but they're more rigorous.

So. The exam is over, and Prof G (our prof) and Prof D are talking to one another - CQ is in earshot. Prof G is rubbing his neck, and he comments to Prof D that his neck is stiff (or something like that.) Prof D asks, "Did you take Viagra?"

CQ manages to keep a straight face until he comes upstairs. Then he told us about it.

Too funny.

I'll send you some journal articles and we won't see you for weeks.

Hehehe... *shudder* Put that on the list of things you don't need to know about your advisor...

Right about that. And yesterday was his birthday as well, which prompted some vulgar jokes about going home for some red-hot lovin'.
