Every few =

campus where I taught in Minnesota back to my home in Wyoming for long =
weekends with the family. On return, I often brought =
=E2=80=9Ctreats=E2=80=9D for my colleagues. Cookies from my wife or =
donuts from a stop at Wall Drug were favorites and would disappear =
quickly among =E2=80=98starving=E2=80=99 professors. Would put up a sign =
for a meeting of the =E2=80=9Czeta eta pi=E2=80=9D society and everyone =
knew to check out the goodies.
One of my colleagues was busy =
teaching (imagine that) and did not return to our office area for a few =
hours.=C2=A0 By then, word had gotten out to everyone (including =
students stopping in to talk with the profs), and there were only crumbs =
left. Saddened at missing treats he said he was going to live by a new =
motto:
=E2=80=9CFree food in the faculty bay is like oxygen masks =
on an airplane. You get yours first, then you inform =
others.=E2=80=9D
