The famous dissertation, cited below, sparked the internecine, often
bloody, decades-long war between the departments of Welcome Studies,
Speak of the Devil Studies, You Betcha Studies, Acknowledgment
Studies, Cultural Anthropology, Aloha Studies, and Assertiveness
Training Studies. Following practices long established before the
Thirty Years War, this protracted conflict was often waged on other
department's turf, and resulted in many Department Chairs, even Deans,
being roused from their beds and ungallantly spanked. The department
of Naming Studies refuses to name the conflict and many deny it even
occurred.
Unfortunately Leadership Studies decided not to take the high road and
instead took the B3149 to Basingstoke. They then got their feat handed
to them on a plate. This whole sorry mess had but one good outcome, the
fresh and quite wise maxim, "Never look a spanked dean in the teeth."
This episode, known as the "Hiss My Mystery Lectures Town Drain Affair,"
attracted the attention of the Vatican, long inactive in bellicose
operations, and it sent a detachment to the Swiss Guard, and many Jesuit
operatives, stationing them throughout academe, to photograph the
spankings and report back, biding its time before declaring a side in
the issue.
