University Ethics
				-----------------

SCENE:	It's a fine sunny day in the forest, and a rabbit is sitting
	outside  his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter.  Along
	comes a fox, out for a walk.

FOX:	"What are you working on?"
RABBIT:	"My thesis."

FOX:	"Hmm.  What's it about?"
RABBIT:	"Oh, I'm writing about how rabbits eat foxes."

        (incredulous pause)

FOX:	"That's ridiculous!  Any fool knows that rabbits don't eat foxes."
RABBIT:	"Sure they do, and I can prove it.  Come with me."

	They both disappear into the rabbit's burrow.  After a few
	minutes, the rabbit returns, alone, to his typewriter and resumes
	typing.

	Soon, a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking
	rabbit.

WOLF:	"What's that you're writing?"
RABBIT:	"I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat wolves."

        (loud guffaws)

WOLF:	"You don't expect to get such rubbish published, do you?"
RABBIT:	"No problem.  Do you want to see why?"

	The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow, and again the rabbit
	returns by himself, after a few minutes, and goes back to typing.

SCENE:	Inside the rabbit's burrow.  In one corner, there is a pile of
	fox bones.  In another corner, a pile of wolf bones.  On the other
	side of the room a huge lion is belching and picking his teeth.

	(The End)
 
MORAL:	It doesn't matter what you choose for a thesis subject.
	It doesn't matter what you use for data.
	What does matter is who you have for a thesis advisor.
