Roman Numerals

"Roman Numerals"*

*One of my college friends asked a group of us for
advice on organizing his final report for the year.

"Why don't you use Roman numerals to head the
different sections?" another friend suggested.

"I already thought of that," he replied. "But my
keyboard doesn't have Roman numerals on it."

"Exemption"*

*While working in the library at a university, I was often
shocked by the excuses students would use to get out
of paying their fees for overdue books.

One evening an older student returned two books that
were way overdue and threw a fit over the "outrageous"
$2 fee that I asked her to pay.

I tried to explain how much she owed for each day, but
she insisted she should be exempt.

"You don't understand," she blurted out. "I didn't even read them!"
