10. A Clever Professor

Once a professor at Glasgow University put up a notice, which read: "Professor Black will meet his class tomorrow." This means that he was going to give his students a lecture the next day.

One naughty boy of the class saw the notice and wiped away the first letter of the word "class" in the notice. Then the sentence became "Professor Black will meet his lass tomorrow", which means the professor would meet his girl friend. Seeing this, the professor didn't take it seriously. He, then, simply left out another letter of the word. Finally, the word "class" was turned into "ass", which means, as we all know, "a stupid donkey". Overall, the student hadn't surpassed the teacher.

"Of course he would say that. But what did you do?"

I told him how badly you wanted it and argued in favor of it, but he refused.

"Argued? Ah, mother, if it had been something you wanted you would have cried a little and then you'd have got it!"
