When I was a graduating senior in college seeking a compromise on some transfer credits from another university, the secretary of the Dean of Music said to me, and I quote: "That's never been done in the history of the world."
And perhaps it hadn't. But fifteen minutes later, when the Dean agreed to my compromise, it suddenly had been done.
