        Loss of research grant
        Publishers' rejection slips

        Long lines of advisees
        Five quiz sections of morons
        Committee ad infinitum
        Liquefiable Pyrex test tubes

        Moldy garden
        Washed-out seed bed
        Drowned fishing trip
        Extinguished barbecue
        Unharvested research plots

    CHEER UP!
