"Long Distance Plan"
Classmates at college were lamenting the
cost of long distance phone service, and
debating the relative advantages of AT&T,
MCI, and Sprint.
"I've found CTC to be the cheapest plan
around," offered one.
"CTC? Who are they?" another asked.
"You know," he responded. "Call Them
Collect."

"Physics Saves Lives"
As a premed student at Washington University
in St. Louis, I had to take a difficult class in
physics. One day our professor was discussing
a particularly complicated concept. A student
rudely interrupted to ask, "Why do we have to
learn this stuff?"
"To save lives." the professor responded quickly
and continued the lecture.
A few minutes later, the same student spoke up
again. "So how does physics save lives?" he
persisted.
"It keeps the ignoramuses out of medical school,"
replied the professor.
