Notes

The name, degree, academic rank, university, and entire statement of the author are almost wholly fictitious and bear practically no known resemblance to any real person, place circumstance, college, or university, living, dormant, or dead. We found this manuscript on our desk on the thirteenth of the month in the dark of the moon and after scrutinizing it briefly, flipped a two bit piece which we borrowed from Dean Jones to determine its proper disposition, saying as we did so, “Heads, we'll throw it in the wastepaper basket; tails, we'll send it to Harold Benjamin, Professor of Education, George Peabody College for Teachers, to add to his file of something or other iana; neither heads nor tails, we'll publish it.” The coin struck the floor, rolled into a crack, and stood squarely on edge. When in doubt try one of Jones' two bit pieces. The Editors.
