I could not resist...

posting this line from an exam I marked today:

"Freudians' explanation of the shoe fetish is that shoes are also a very important part of the fashionable outfit. The shoe fetish finishes off the outfit."

Indeed.

I know. Insanity. And Mireille, the exam is full of delights like that. I'd post them, but I'm afraid that would reveal too much about what I was teaching my sub-sub-field course on. Anyway, she failed. Obviously.
