Sources from a thermodynamics lecture this week report that engineering professor Samuel Hanks is suffering from a debilitating case of chalk butt. “There’s no doubt here. Professor Hanks has been hit with some fairly advanced chalk butt,” pronounced a pre-med in the class, observing the thick dust of chalk that had accumulated all over Professor Hanks’ rear end from leaning against the chalkboard. “The poor guy’s lecturing so hard about the Carnot Cycle and turbine power that he didn’t even notice his pants are basically white now. According to his medical history, this seems to be a chronic case of chalk butt, flaring up approximately every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30 to 11:50am. We’re just hoping it’s not terminal.” At press time, the RISD drawing majors were suffering through an outbreak of charcoal face.
