Bruce–
I got both readings of the last sentence. I was wondering whether the first two sentences could also be heard two ways.

Hugo… Read that again… It’s “You may be dEW coNDensation” and not duecompensation. A very clever play on words…

How is that any different than educators in other fields? What’s more dangerous, a law prof with no experience other than teaching or a civil engineering prof? There are good profs and bad profs and experience is one of the factors, but not the only one.

“You may be due compensation”–
Is that the whole joke, or am I missing a rereading of the first two sentences?
