lol, I'd play it, but I'd give the prof a heads up first. Are you in undergrad? Because grad schools seem more lax about swearing than undergrad...

I'm undergrad, though swearing has never been any issue in any of my classes as long as it is in a productive context (I actually have some rather...colorful language in my proposal, but it's important in the context of how some men speak about women, so it's allowed, for example). I don't think this is anything that's actually going to be played in class--it's just the way he wants us to design our final "paper" (he's very keen on brevity, wanting us to say as much as we can in as few words as possible). He's also hard to read on what he takes really seriously and what allows room for poking fun, though.

And yep, that's Bea Arthur. If you've never seen History of the World Part I, you totally need to. It's hilarious.
