It was the final exam for an English course at a university. Like most
freshman courses, it was designed to weed out new students, having
over 700 students in the class.
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. Thirty minutes 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 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 students filed up and handed their exams in. All
except the late student, who continued writing. Half an hour later, he
finally came up to the professor's desk and attempted to put his exam on
the stack of exam booklets.
"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 sarcastically.
"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.
