A 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.
