Mr.
Jacobs, the biology instructor at a posh suburban girl's junior college, said
during class, "Miss Arnold, would you please name the organ of the human
body, which under the appropriate conditions, expands to six times its normal
size, and define the conditions.
Miss
Arnold gasped, then said freezingly, "Mr. Jacobs, I don't think that is a
proper question to ask me. I assure you my parents will hear of this."
With that she sat down red-faced.
Unperturbed,
Mr. Jacobs called on Miss Jones, another student, and asked the same question.
Miss
Jones, with composure, replied: "The pupil of the eye, in dim light."
"Correct," said Mr. Jacobs. "And
now, Miss Arnold, I have three things to say to you. One, you have not studied
your lesson. Two, you have a dirty mind. And three, you
will someday be faced with a dreadful disappointment."
