*sigh* I'm sorry, kiddo. I mean, I firmly believe that profs should be allowed, nay, encouraged to have stupid jokes with their students and sometimes maybe a beer. I can understand someone wanting to cover their own ass from rumors and shit -- even perfectly respectable friendships sometimes get profs into hot water over rumors of favoritism and the like. But jesus! That doesn't mean that you can't graciously accept a card, especially once it's been made clear that it wasn't a love letter or anything. How can someone be a mentor if they're not willing to accept an overture of friendship and camraderie? Pshh.
*sigh* I'm sorry, chica. Sorry that professors have to be assholes...sorry that I encouraged you to write the damn blasted card in the first place...I understand your plight with humanity, truly I do... And, I'll second your friend's thought here...why the hell can't professors and teachers be friends?
