A Mississippi professor was at a party and became indignant when asked if college professors were absent-minded. Professors haven't got bad memories, he declared. They're not absent-minded. Don't you think I know where I am right now, and don't you think tomorrow I'll know where I was last night? Would somebody like to ask me another question? Yes, said another guest. Is it true that professors are absent-minded and have bad memories? Good! said the professor. I knew sooner or later somebody would ask me that question.
