Honestly. I was a jr. assistant trying to avoid being typecast as the rowdy feminist leftie. Joined by some wonderful colleagues, including one very dear Chicago-born, working class dude, also assistant professor. I finally figured out his humor --- at an end of the year, otherwise boring meeting, he arrived with fish wrapped in newspaper (picture oil paintings on the wall, mahogany bookshelves, a captain's table); he laid out the newspaper and proceeded to crack crab legs, spoon up the greasy potatoes in some salsa, and stink up the room. Those with their modest sandwiches and the senior colleague whose wife brought him a liquid lunch (in a thermos bottle...geez, this predated microwaves almost), nearly abandoned the meeting!

Professor Davenport is eating a meatball sandwich, right out in class, and she's been passing nötes!"<BR/><BR/>Imagine Professor Wienburger then accusing Professor Davenport of being a "habitual liar," and you see that in fact Female Trouble is not terribly far from the reality of dysfunctional department life.
