BLOWN AWAY

A woman studying for her PhD in medical theory at Cambridge University had just finished off" her thesis. It ran to hundreds of pages and had involved many days of research, so the woman thought it would be a good idea to photocopy everything. She packed the thesis into a box, put the box on the backseat of her car and drove to the college where the photocopier was. However, the woman forgot to close the back window, the box lid was blown off and years of work blew out the window as she drove. It took three weeks for the woman to recover most of the pages, but by then she had missed her deadline and she failed the course.
