Flat Tire

"Flat Tire"*

*Two college seniors had a week of exams coming up.
However, they decided to go to a party instead and they
didn't get any studying done.

When they went to the test, they decided to tell the
professor that their car had broken down the night
before due to a flat tire and they needed a bit more time to study.

The professor told them that they could have another day to study.

That evening, both of the boys crammed all night until
they were sure that they knew just about everything.

Arriving to class the next morning, each boy was told
to go to separate classrooms to take the exam. Each
shrugged and went to two different parts of the building.

As each sat down, they read the first question.

"For 5 points, explain the contents of an atom."

At this point, they both thought that this was going to
be a piece of cake, and answered the question with ease.

Then, the test continued... "For 95 points, tell me
which tire it was."

"Asking Questions"*

*A father and son went fishing one day. After a couple
hours out in the boat, the boy suddenly became curious
about the world around him. He asked his father, "How
does this boat float?"

The father thought for a moment, then replied, "Don't
rightly know, son."

The boy returned to his contemplation, then turned back
to his father, "How do fish breath underwater?"

Once again the father replied, "Don't rightly know, son."

A little later the boy asked his father, "Why is the sky blue?"

Again, the father replied. "Don't rightly know, son."

Worried he was going to annoy his father, he says,
"Dad, do you mind my asking you all of these questions?"

"Of course not son. If you don't ask questions, you'll
never learn anything!"
