It is not uncommon for a girl or boy to get married while (or even before) undertaking her / his post-graduate studies (MDS). It is such an effortless cakewalk, these post-graduate studies, that they can easily take on the added responsibility of raising a family. Husbands of girl students are sometimes keenly protective of their wives, and take proactive measures to ensure that they pass at one attempt.
One such husband decided to take matters a little further than others. He offered the internal examiner a bottle of whisky. Unfortunately, the examiner declined to accept the 'gift'. To have his whisky and drink it too, the husband decided to report the matter to the Principal. In his own way.
The professor asked for a bottle of whisky as a favour for my wife to pass her examination. Since I refused to oblige, he is now threatening to fail her. Please look into this.
The student passed. It is another matter that the professor held back the results for quite a while, until an apology letter was finally written and submitted to him by the student. In the absence of such a letter, the professor stood to lose his reputation - if he passed her, he would have been accused of accepting the whisky. If he failed her, the accusation would have been of vengeful behaviour for not receiving his tipple.
Being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea is often a professional hazard of working as a teaching faculty in dentistry.
