Someone emailed this to my friend's Biology 152 lecture.

Dear Fellow 152 Students,
Hi, my name is Alex Glazer and I am a fellow student in your lecture (and maybe even discussion—lucky!). I, unfortunately, am not the best student in the class, nor am I the most diligent notetaker, especially during Dr. Bohannan’s unit. This entire semester I have tried to take notes but every time I have tried my irritable bowel syndrome acts up and I get horrible gut wrenching diarrhea.
Now you may be saying to yourself, “ I don’t believe this kid, why should I let him copy my notes?” Well let me tell you a story: Yesterday as I was walking into the library a homeless man approached me. This man introduced himself and told me a little about himself. He then asked me if I had any spare change. Since I do not typically trust the homeless I offered to buy him a sandwich at Subway instead. Not only did I buy it for him, but I let him come in with me, choose his toppings, and even get a footlong! If this isn’t enough for someone to send me their notes, I don’t know what is.
Thank you in advance for your help and I greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Alex Glazer

Fyacin · 12-09-2008, 07:51 PM

He even let him pick his own toppings! Guys got a lot of heart.

It was probably sub of the day

I once offered to buy a homeless guy a meal and he said that that would be no good

GameMaster · 12-09-2008, 08:59 PM

Mhmm, $5.00 meatball footlong...

I never give homeless people money, but when I have food on me, I offer them some.

Give the guy your notes, because he made up a fun story and had the guts to mail everybody.

Well. First I forgot my password so I couldn't log on, so I procastinated a bit and finally requested a new one, then my e-mail wasn't working for a few days so I diddn't get the password, then I changed computers since my e-mail wasn't working anyway, and by the time I had that all set I had forgot about it, so when Jeepnut told me about the mafia game I remember to look through my inbox for the new password.

And I shall read through the backlog of tavern tales as I get time.

I just got this...

"I've sent you all an email before asking for notes for the film assignment as I was not able to attend class that day. Thankfully, a fellow student sent me the link to the video online so I was able to complete it. Now I find myself with another very serious issue...

As of about 40 minutes ago, my computer just blue-screened me. This has never happened before but apparently it's bad (I don't know much about computers). Nothing works and I can't access anything... It's all just blue. Not only can I not get to the study guide I've been preparing for the last few days, every bit of notes I had for the class were also on my computer, and therefore now cannot be used to draw up another guide. I AM FREAKING THE F*** OUT!!! I have the book, but other than that I am very screwed. I am studying in Beverly Hills with no way to return to campus until tomorrow, so I can't even study with anyone. If someone is willing to send me notes, or even better yet, a completed study guide, it would absolutely save my life. I know many of you have worked very hard to draw up your own study aids (as I had done the same) but I am hoping for some extreme understanding and help. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help an unlucky student out."

What should I do?

GameMaster · 12-11-2008, 01:03 AM

Tell him he deserves it for not taking notes with a pencil and paper.

Then forward the email to your teacher.

BreakABone · 12-11-2008, 01:03 AM

I'm curious as to what computer he is using to type of the message since his got blue screened, but wow I never realized people got that desperate around finals.

Due to lack of homeless story, ignore that.
