A colleague and I were speaking very circumspectly about a recent incident involving Professors Behaving Badly: no one listening would have been able to discern the identity of the miscreant or the exact nature of the offense, but a student standing nearby expressed surprise at the existence of drama among the ranks. "Professors aren't supposed to have drama," she said; "Professors are supposed to be bulwarks of sanity in an insane world!"
I'm sure you can still hear the bitter laughter ringing through the air.
