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.”
