Tell him you ran this idea by the Grinch, and he said no.
So, you ran it by the Tooth Fairy, and she also said no.
Finally, you ran it by Santa........... and he's still laughing...

Merry Christmas,
Maggie

 What would you tell a PI that has already received 2 no-cost extensions

thinks they should be able to requisition everything this week, when the
university will be closed until Jan. 5th and the items will not arrive until
much later than that?  I thought this might provide me with some good/funny
pre-holiday comments.
