Peon : Yes, Sir.

Principal : (to staff) My dear colleagues, a former student, named

Wasserkopf has brought up a question that I have never
encountered in all my years of experience. I have never heard

anything like it!

Mathematics Teacher : Tell us what it is.

Principal : Well, the student wants his tuition fees back.

Mathematics Teacher : But why?

Principal : He says he has learned nothing in this school. He says a
re-examination will prove it.

Mathematics Teacher : Friends, it is my conviction that we shall lose nothing by

re-examining Wasserkopf. If he fails, he will place us in an
awkward position: therefore, he must not fail. We shall not make
our question too difficult-agreed? We are dealing with a sly, crafty

individual, who will try to get the better of us-and his money back-
by hook or crook. We must checkmate him.

Physics Teacher : How?
