Where is the money coming from?

Here are a few of the results from the faculty auction last night, and my mind is reeling from the prices I heard some packages going for.

$150 for tennis lesson?
$250 for a murder mystery evening?

My question is, where is all the money coming from? The people I know bitch about spending more than $5 on a lunch. I simply can't believe that people would fork over $50 each just to hang out with a professor for an evening. I go out of my way to avoid them like the plague (no offense to professors), let alone feel like I want to go further in debt just for an opportunity for some quality 1-on-1 ass-kissing time.

And dinner with Kurtz? I'm sorry, but if I'm going to spend a lot of money on a dinner, I want it to be in a really nice restaurant, with a relaxing dinner companion. It's hardly relaxing to live in fear that your professor is going to bark, "State the title!" I would probably have indigestion as soon as the professor opened his mouth.

I was also surprised about how much money people spent. I think some groups of students went in on bids. Or maybe these people get different loan disbursements than I do. I'll have to look into that.

Actually, I think it would be worth at least $150 to see J. Lo. as a biker. And it's all for a good cause....

Kurtz never talks titles at dinner

Isn't it scary when your Professor leaves you messages on your blog?

I think it would be a blast to have dinner Kurtz, he's hilarious and I think he's capable of having a conversation that doesn't entail property...

Don't forget the whole PURPOSE of the auction...
