"Don't Talk with Your Mouth Full."

Texas Tech Chancellor David Smith has backed off his ultimatum to basketball coach Bob Knight: take a five-game suspension or be fired.

Allegedly, it all started when Smith ran into Knight at a local eatery, and made small talk that grew into a shouting match. It's been my experience that the bigger an academic's vocabulary, the better chance of getting tongue-tied or blurting out thoughts.

The moral? Never get in the way of anyone's lunch.
