False again, but I've got no ready anecdotes for that subject.

False! (Don't kill me, Zuul. I told you about this!) I once ran out of gas on my way to work and was picked up by a perfectly nice Civil War re-enactor, who took me to three gas stations before we found one that would let me borrow a gas can.

So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.
True. Three years after my master's degree I went back to get my teaching certificate. I was actually an undergrad at one university while on the faculty at two other ones. I think that's fairly non-traditional.

TNP has food and/or drink sitting on their desk.

Sure do.

True, and it was accepted! (Before you get all impressed, it was (a) 35 years ago; and (b) accepted by a dorky little magazine for teenagers run by the national council of some Protestant denomination that about 10 people, none of whom you would ever want to know, read).
TNP feels a little guilty that their knowledge of recent history and current events is not stronger than it is.
