Recently, a classmate was lamenting a 30 page reading assignment made by one of our professors for that day. "I'm not too worried about it. I didn't read it", I said. "I never read any assignments that long."
The classmate looked at me and said, "Well, then you'll be happy about tommorrow's assignment. It's only three pages."
"Eh, I doubt I'll read that one either", I said. "If it's that short, why even bother with it?"
My classmate looked at me quizzically, and said, "How is it that you refuse to read an assignment because it is too long, and then refuse to read an assignment that is really short?"
"Simple", I responded. "I don't like reading."
