Chasing the Carrot

This is an old one. After I got offered my job at NASA, I was feeling some disinterest in my remaining classes. Anna, my roommate of 4 years, was trying to help motivate me by metaphorically dangling the carrot of graduation in front of my face. As you can tell, the apparatus required for this demonstration was somewhat patched together. She never did let me catch that carrot, although I'm not sure I would have wanted to. (It wasn't peeled or anything - yuck!)
