I was speaking to the Professor about the courses in the literary arts (creative writing) department at Brown University. He asked, “weren’t you majoring in literary arts?”

“I wanted to,” I said, “but I’d actually already finished all my writing requirements and the rest of the courses were in theory, which I’m less interested in. So we realized I could actually take more writing classes by not majoring in literary arts.”

“Well…” he sighed, “that makes perfect nonsense.”
