My private teacher for drumming told me this anecdote...

He was submitting his master's thesis to the committee of four professors who would critique, and accept the document. One of the professors, always changed the edits of one of the other three professors, so he would go in circles, from one professor who would put something in, to the professor who would take it out, and back again.
