An awesome mail forward, worth reading. I had a Sevier stomach pain from laughing. Here’s a prime example of “Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus” offered by an English professor from the University of Phoenix
The professor told his class one day:
“Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. As homework tonight, one of you will write the first paragraph of a short story. You will e-mail your partner that paragraph and send another copy to me. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story and send it back, also sending another copy to me. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and-forth. Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. There is to be absolutely NO talking outside of the e-mails and anything you wish to say must be written in the e-mail. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached.”
The following was actually turned in by two of his English students: Rebecca (female) and Gary (male).

So chamomile was out of the question.
