"The Ongoing Adventures of Gorgeous Gracie" by Mary Anne Mohanraj (mohanraj@mills.edu). I feel a strong affinity with the protagonist of this story. Grace is a beautiful, dedicated English teacher. She is so beautiful that she has to go to great lengths to prevent her physical charms from interfering with her life's goal of imparting skills in the use of the English language to her college students. One of her concerns is that she is ill fain {I think I recall that phrase from Shakespeare} to become romantically involved with a person less intelligent than herself. Pete is a football jock - a veritable Herculean Adonis, but doubtlessly a dumb jock. He has missed his class assignment, using the excuse that he had been hit by a car and cracked several ribs while helping a little old lady across the street on his way to class and had to delay his rendition and explanation of Macbeth for 24 hours. Grace suspects that this contrived explanation is merely a lame excuse for Pete to meet with her in private and to look at her boobs or to get into her pants. When his presentation is impeccable, Grace is possessed by a wild desire to get into HIS pants. And then there's the surprise ending!
