* One of my most challenging courses at the University of Denver was a business law class in which the  professor gave difficult true – false tests. During one of the more exasperating exams, I noticed another student flipping a coin. The professor approached him. “Son are you guessing on this test?”  “No sir,” said  the student, “I was just checking my answers.”

# A woman borrowed a DVD from the Memphis library and brought it back the next day. She indignantly complained to the clerk, “I got this movie about the “King and I” and there nothing in there about Elvis at all.”

# When I was a college junior, my roommate and I climbed Mount Whitney. It took three days to get to the top and back, and we returned home completely exhausted. Visiting my parents soon after the grueling hike, I walked into our living room, where they were conversing with the neighbor. I told them every detail of my treck: how high the mountain was, how steep the trail and how we fought fatigue and altitude sickness all the way. “I know how difficult it is,” our neighbors said, “I took my Brownie troop there last year.”
