K here’s another one:

Some of you may have heard this one, but it’s funny nonetheless.

David was a student in law school, and he was studying very hard for a test he had the next day. When he came to school, he felt he was prepared for anything, and was eager to take the test and ace it. The professor who was giving the test decided that the test was going to end at 1:00 pm, exactly 2.5 hours after they would start. Now this teacher was a stickler for rules, and when he set a time limit, he meant it. So, as the law students filed into the room to take the test, the professor said “the test begins right now. You have exactly 2 1/2 hours to take it. Anyone who surpasses the time limit will fail the exam.” Time passed quickly enough, and before the students knew it, the professor said “half an hour left”. The students quickened their writing pace, frantically scribbling the answers. After fifteen minutes, the professor said “fifteen minutes left”. A few students stood up and handed their papers in, while the rest of the class continued writing. After five minutes, the professor once again let them know of the time remaining, and half of the students left handed their papers in. During the next five minute, most of the students handed in their papers, and by the “five more minutes announcement”, only a handful was left. When the professor said “one more minute”, everyone scrambled to give their papers in. At exactly 1:00, the professor looked at the pile of tests on his desk and gave a satisfied smirk. Looking up to ensure that the classroom was indeed empty, to his astonishment, he saw David, sitting in the back of the classroom, oblivious to the empty room…. still filling in his test. Now the professor wasn’t going to tolerate such behavior, and he told David “you know that you failed, don’t you”, but David politely ignored him and went on writing. Now the professor was getting angry. He not-so-nicely told David to bring his paper up to the desk, but David smiled sweetly and continued. By now, the professor was ready to blow his top. He yelled at David, but David calmly nodded and kept on writing. After 45 minutes of the professor steaming behind the teacher’s desk, and David writing in all the answers, David stood up and walked to the teacher’s desk. About to blow up, the professor yelled “you went 45 minutes over the limit! You failed your exam!” David asked the professor “do you know who I am?” The professor said “I don’t care if you’re the president’s son, you FAILED!” David again asked “do you know who I am?” The professor yelled “I don’t care who you are. You can be the dean’s son for all I know. BUT YOU FAILED!” David said again “do you know who I am?” Screaming, the professor said “NO!!!” So David very calmly said “good”, and he stuck his test into the middle of the pile of tests, and walked out of the room.
