Please  let me know if you have any questions you'd like answered on this topic, if you have stories to share (the more embarrassing the better--cited anonymously if you prefer,  of course...) or tips and resources for fellow readers.  My favorite anecdote: When I told one of my MFE classes that "You shouldn't talk with your mouth full," one student raised her hand and asked, "Ellen, then what percentage of food may we have in our mouths when we talk?"  I loved it--a very "quant" question. And of course the answer is... 0 percent! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite18" alt=":LOL:" title="Laugh    :LOL:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":LOL:" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
