Dear hiring committee members,
Your insistence that you are "not hiring for any tenure track positions in bioethics at the moment," is an interesting opening gambit in our negotiations, and I applaud your persistence on this point after so many emails
My counter-offer, that you are indeed hiring a tenure track professor and compensating very generously, remains firm, however I am willing to haggle over the following minor points ...

"Space Oddity" was actually written about Tom Lovil, a major in the Bajoran Militia 2375-2380 
I've started using Emacs as a file manager in certain cases just because it's faster

The German word for "pants" is "lederhosen"
Which comes from the German word "leider," meaning "unfortunately," and "hosen," meaning "pants"
Which sums up how we all feel about pants, if we're being real about it

Mathematicians are always talking about "the function f of x". They are saying things like "f of x equals this" and "f of x is defined as that". Well what is it then. They can't all be right
