Several years ago, one of my colleagues interviewed for a professor's position at Purdue University. (He and I taught at a community college, and he had a side gig as an engineer because he was a workaholic.) The interviewer asked him about publications and he mentioned the textbook he'd written.
Unfazed, the interviewer responded, "So that's just the one textbook?"
Then he asked about any other honors of note and my friend said, "I have a patent in my name."
Predictably, the interviewer followed up with, "So that's just the one patent?"
Sheesh.
