Dr. Tyler Kress had just finished explaining an important research project
to his class. He emphasized that this paper was an absolute requirement
for passing his class, and that there would be only two acceptable excuses
for being late. Those were a medically certifiable illness or a death in
the student's immediate family.
A smart ass student in the back of the classroom waved his hand and spoke
up. "But what about extreme sexual exhaustion, professor?" As you would
expect, the class exploded in laughter. When the students had finally
settled down, then Dr. Kress froze the young man with a glaring look.
"Well," he responded, "I guess you'll just have to learn to write with your
other hand."
