No, I don't care about seeing a picture of a chewed-out pancreas of the Bos taurus on page 11,547 of your Mega-weenie B&D Super-tool Pre-med cadaver-scented Dissection Manual written by (surprise) the professor of your Worm Endicrinology seminar.

Two of them were professors; the pudgy man who showed off a snapshot of his daughter in return for a look at my ID taught economics, and Janev's field was philosophy, but they had all been recruited for manual labor in one of Tito's work brigades. Janev flipped through an envelope of photographs till he found a group portrait for me to remember them...
