Even funnier: my students frequently address me as "Mr. T."
And I don't look a thing like B.A. Barracus, either. For one thing, I'm
taller. For another, I'm slightly paler than the polar ice cap.
So in our recent back-and-forth over the poor benight Bloom and his canon,
we had "Mr. T." facing off with "MRT."
Struck me as quite funny at the moment.
