FINAL EXAM
-----
It was the final examination for an introductory English course at the local
university. The examination was two hours long, and exam booklets were
provided. The professor was very strict and told the class that any exam that
was not on his desk in exactly two hours would not be accepted and the student
would fail. A half hour into the exam, a student came rushing in and asked the
professor for an exam booklet.
"You're not going to have time to finish this," the professor stated
sarcastically as he handed the student a booklet.
"Yes I will," replied the student. He then took a seat and began writing.
After two hours, the professor called for the exams, and the students filed up
and handed them in. All except the late student, who continued writing. A half
hour later, the last student came up to the professor who was sitting at his
desk preparing for his next class. He
attempted to put his exam on the stack of exam booklets already there.
"No you don't, I'm not going to accept that. It's late." The student looked
incredulous and angry.
"Do you know WHO I am?"
"No, as a matter of fact I don't," replied the professor.
"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" the student asked again.
"No, and I don't care." replied the professor with an air of superiority.
"Good," replied the student, who quickly lifted the stack of completed exams,
stuffed his in the middle, and walked out of the room. |
