a new course in folkloristics today.

Professor Surprise1: what do you think about when you hear the word "fieldwork"? anyone?
me: jane goodall.
[silence]
Professor Surprise: who?
me: you know, that woman - with the chimpanzees?
Professor Surprise: oh - i don't know, but i'll just write "chimpanzees", okay?

[Poll #902689]


1. Professor Surprise is wee and perky and seems nice. her name results from her very short and wide-set, rather high eyebrows. she looks perpetually surprised, or at least very, very intent.

she's a doctoral student, not a full doctor, and i'd say she's in her upper twenties probably. but i can't conceive how she could have even taken a class about the methodologies she is supposed to be teaching us without having read about goodall, let alone teach one.

Or, y'know, ever watched television. Or been alive.

Though, in fairness, for some reason, the JG movies we saw in elementary school called her "Miss Jane." Miss Jane and the Chimpanzees of Gombe, etc.
