so responsible

there once were two TAs for a class. both these TAs were assigned marking duties of the midterm of the class. knowing that marking with someone is much more fun (though might take longer) than marking alone, the two TAs set up for marking. while diligently marking one TA is disrupted by the other's comments about how to get two pitchers of beer into the marking area. deciding that it was silly (and not very responsible) the TAs mark on.
but then the two TAs just can't get this idea of how to drink and mark out of their minds. they look at each other. then they look at the exams they are marking. then they look at each other. then they mark. then they look at each other. they both are thinking the same thing. how to best drink and mark?

in the end the two TA find themselves walking to the closest liquor store. as the walk was longer than expected it is agreed to stock up on liquor to save the two TAs from future times of having to stop marking (see very responsible).

As a result the TAs purchased about $100 of booze and went back to marking.

now instead of a filing cabinet, one TA has a liquor cabinet.

and the exams... the marking didn't quite get finished.... oops!

and this TA was NOT the one to bring up the beer in the first place.

i mean, i heard this from a friend of a friend of mine.
