Have you seen this old joke of a university student writing a letter to his parents asking for some money?
Dear Mom and Dad,

His parents later wrote back:

After deliberating a while, this was the draft of their appropriate response:
Dear Son:

Dear Moishe I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are probably NOt eNOugh to keep even an hoNOurs student busy. But do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task and one can never study eNOugh. NOthing much is happening here. Please write aNOther letter soon. Bye for NOw.
Love your father, ArNOld
