One day a professor was discussing a particularly
complicated concept. A pre-med student rudely
interrupted to ask "Why do we have to learn this stuff?"

"To save lives." the professor responded quickly and
continued the lecture.

A few minutes later, the same student spoke up again.
"So, how does calculus save lives?" he persisted.

"It keeps the idiots out of medical school," replied
the professor.
