I heard something like this, although it is probably an Urban Legend(tm).
Anyhow, here goes:

    A student majoring in Art was filling out a computerized advance
    registration form here at the local university.  The registration
    form was the kind that requires you to make all your numbers "just
    so" so that the numbers might be read by an optical scanner.  The
    student, being artistically inclined, was incapable of making his
    numbers the way he was suppose to; the end result was that instead
    of the art class he wanted, he ended up registered for a graduate
    level Electrical Engineering course.  All quarter long this
    student kept meaning to go to the Registrar's Office and drop the
    course, but he neglected to do so.  When he finally received his
    report card, he was astonished to see that the professor had given
    him an "A".

The Moral: Graduate school can't really be all that tough, can it?

Andy, Andy, Andy.

How many times have I told you not to tell stories about me off-site?
