A
Mississippi professor was at a party and
became indignant when asked if
college professors were
absent-minded.

“Professors haven’t got bad memories,” he declared.
“They’re not
absent-minded. Don’t you think I know where I am right now,
and don’t
you think tomorrow I’ll know where I was last night?
Would somebody
like to ask me another question?”

“Yes,” said
another guest. “Is it true that professors are
absent-minded and
have bad memories?”

“Good!” said the professor. “I knew sooner or
later somebody would
ask me that question.”
