Pardon me, professor? We need to have a word, eh? I know the federal government in Ottawa has decreed that we have to let you smoke your, uh, medicine here at work. We even have to give you a special room to smoke in, yeah. And as long as you keep the window open and spray a little Renuzit around, we’re fine with that, eh?

The thing is, though, when you smoke, you tend to play your music a bit too loud, eh? Now I like to rock out as much as any Canadian – heck, I was there when Blue Rodeo played the Juno Awards back in ‘91. But frankly, your music is disturbing the students in my Interdisciplinary Multicultural Jurisprudence seminar. I was just thinking, maybe, if it’s OK with you, you could use this RCA Lyra 1GB MP3 player instead.

It’s the size of a pack of gum, so it should fit right into your stash box. But it holds up to 16 hours of MP3s – more than enough for the greatest hits of Hawksley Workman, the Tragically Hip, Luba, and Nash the Slash, eh? See the little LCD screen here – it tells you what song you’re listening to, yeah. And you can load it up and recharge the battery with the USB 2.0 connection.

So, yeah, here, you can have this Lyra. No, don’t worry about it, I bought it cheap from this web site in the States and had my sister-in-law in Florida send it across the border. But, well, maybe sometime we could get together and – what? No, no, I don’t have a prescription. Oh, well, can’t blame a guy for trying, eh?
