They’re Not “Torn” As To Which Student To Pick
(I’m studying broadcasting, hoping to get a job in radio. In one of our projects, we have to design a contest for the college radio station, then actually go out into the real world, meet with real businesses, and get them to sponsor it. I’ve got a meeting with a prospective sponsor, so for an extra air of professionalism, I decide to wear my suit. On my way out, I run into one of my instructors in the hallway.)
Instructor: “And what are you all dressed up for?”
Me: “Oh, it’s for the promotions project. I’m off to a meeting with a potential sponsor.”
Instructor: “Well, I’m glad one of you guys knows how to dress to make sales calls.”
(Yeah, turns out my classmates giving their presentations in torn T-shirts weren’t doing so well at rounding up sponsors.)
