While explaining what “legitimately sought” means, I mentioned to my class that “I accept bribes, if they’re high enough.”
“How much for an A?” one boy asked.
“$500.”
“How much for a B?”
“$450.”
Another student, apparently shocked and disappointed, said, “Then I’ll just earn my own grade. I don’t have that kind of money saved up in my piggy bank.”
Right on.
