School Times

"Philosophy"

A college student in a philosophy class was taking
his first examination.

On the paper there was a single line which simply
said: "Is this a question?" -Discuss.

After a short time he wrote: "If that is a question,
then this is an answer."

The student received an "A" on the exam.

"School Times"

A college chemistry professor could not help but
notice that one of his students was late to class
for the third time that week. Before class ended
he went around the room asking students some
questions about the day's lecture. Of course,
he made sure to pick on his tardy pupil.

"And who was it that discovered uranium?" the
professor asked.

"I don't know," the student said.

"Perhaps if you came to class on time, Mr. Winters,
you would know," said the professor.

"That's not true," the student replied. "I never
pay attention!"

"What Would You Do?"

A professor was conducting a class in decision making.
In his first drill, he picked a student from the deep South.

"Now son," he said, "I want you to tell me the decision
you'd make in this situation. You're driving a fully-loaded
truck down a mountain road at seventy miles an hour.
Just as you get close to an oncoming truck, two cars
pull out from behind him to pass. You hit the brakes
and your brakes go out. On your right side is a five-
hundred foot cliff; on your left side in a one-thousand
food precipice. Now, son, you have three second.
What would you do?"

"Well," the boy drawled, "I reckon I'd wake up Leroy."

"Leroy!" the professor exclaimed. "Who's Leroy?"

"Leroy's my relief driver, sir. You see, he's from a
small country town and I'd want to wake him up '
cause he ain't never seen an accident like this before."
