Despite his father's impression that Dobie is taking easy courses that he is choosing solely because they have a bevy of beautiful girls in the class, Dobie counters that he is taking a variety of courses to discover what truly interests him. In doing so, he believes he has found his true area of interest: Egyptology. Herbert is suspect enough of what career he can carve out of such a subject, even more suspect when Dobie wants to go on a class field trip to Egypt which requires money specifically from him. But Herbert still knows that Dobie's primary interest in the class has to be a girl. However, Herbert finds that the only "girl" in the class is Dobie's professor, thirty-five year old but still voluptuous Dr. Imogene Burkhart. While Dobie's interest in the class is purely Egyptology, Herbert believes it is Dr. Burkhart. Herbert's belief may not only threaten Dobie's trip to Egypt but Dobie's teacher/student relationship with Dr. Burkhart. But Herbert may be the one who suffers the most through the process of dealing with Dobie and Dr. Burkhart on the matter.
