Cut the crap,please.

       
Real-life story:

		Returning after many years of teaching at a university , I felt
honored to be giving the commencement address. As I nervously awaited
the evening's ceremonies, a graduating student handed me a folded
piece of paper. "I know how important this night is to you," she said.
"Please read this just before you give your speech."

		Expecting words of encouragement and inspiration, I followed her
instructions. As I was being introduced, I opened her note and read:
"Keep it short. The football game is at 8:30 ."
