Nothing to see here. Just a provost up there doing what provosts do best: surliness.

I am not a provost and yet I am the surliest of the surly girls. This kind of remark is exactly what I would expect from a eight-armed accountant. |

Provosts are the nastiest of all, generally. I think it's in the fine print of all contracts. Deans are not normally held to this high standard, clearly, although I have met a few... |

Also, for some reason I had been misreading this thread title as the 'Surly DMV Thread' and assumed it was about problems with car registration.
I'd be surly, too, if I had to deal with people like you trying to get their driver's licenses. People like me? People who aren't surly enough. C'mon. You can do better. I've seen you do surly without blinking an eye. Get nasty, FF. Say mean things about people who you have never met. Or even people you have met. That's one of your personal strengths. Since you're 50% of the people I've met from the fora, I'm now worrying about my dinnertime etiquette! |

I think provosts should be renamed "Priuses." Or prostates. Prius sounds like the kind of problem that has you peeing on your forehead if you don't run down to the ER and get your penis tapped, anyway.
