Dr. Parker, the biology instructor at a posh suburban
girl's junior college, said during class, "Miss Smith,
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 Smith gasped, blushed deeply,
then said freezingly,
Dr. Parker, I do not think that is
a proper question to
ask me, you should be asking a
boy. And I assure you my
parents will hear of
this." With that she sat down, very
red-faced.
Unperturbed, Dr. Parker called on
Miss Johnson and asked
the same question. Miss
Johnson, with composure, replied,
"The pupil of the eye,
in dim light."
"Correct," said
Dr. Parker. "And now, Miss Smith, 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
some day be faced with a dreadful
disappointment."
