Let me tell you a true story about Professor Bonk who taught Chemistry at Duke University. One year, three guys were taking Chemistry and all getting a solid "A" going into the final exam. They were so confident that the weekend before finals they decided to go up to the University of Virginia to party with some friends. Due to bad hangovers, they overslept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning.
Rather than taking the final then, they explained to Professor Bonk that they had driven up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn't have a spare, so they didn't get back to campus until late Sunday night.
Professor Bonk thought this over and then agreed that they could make up the final on the following day.
The three guys were elated and relieved. They studied that night and went in the next day. Professor Bonk placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a test booklet, looked at his watch and told them to begin.
They opened up the test booklet and saw the first question about solutions was worth 5 points. They all thought this was going to be easy.
Then they turned the page and saw the 2nd question worth 95 points: Which tire?
Lesson: In all you do and say, do it as if your grandma is watching!
