My post about the term paper mills — and the thought that some algorithm concluded (perhaps rightly) that students who are looking for books on how to write papers might settle for a site offering plagiarized papers instead — reminded me of a joke about academic success and academic ethics. It works better when spoken than written, but here it goes:
A beautiful student goes to a male professor’s office and says, in a breathy voice, “Professor . . . . I’d do anything to get an A on your exam.”
“Anything?,” the professor asks, conspiratorially.
The student leans closer. “Anything,” she says.
The professor says, “Would you . . . study?”
