I got the joke, but I didn’t approve of it, because that is just…wrong.

Good heavens, I go away from the Dope for a week and this happens?

Anyway, because at this point why not pile on, I agree with **mademoiselle**. I would probably have given them the seats if it had been me, because I’m a bit of a pushover, but I would have been really annoyed with them for asking after the movie had already started! And certainly the kind of behavior they displayed after that is unacceptable.

Yeah but JOKE351 is MWF but Beating a Dead Horse of a Thread is an interdisciplinary seminar for the same credit-hours and TR.
