Campus Funnies

In recent years I have been asked some strange questions. At times I have to give it some thought and come up with an appropriate answer. Other times it takes a little research to come up with the answer. Sometimes the answer is in the question.

At one point I ran the bookstore in our college. It was fun. I met all the students and had time to get to know many of them. I knew what they liked, what they didn't like, who was doing well in school. Sometimes I felt as if I was the bartender because I listened to the gripes, complaints, concerns and plans of the students. One day though, I was asked a question that I just couldn't help but laugh about.

This young freshman walked in and noticed that we sold pre-paid phone cards. She was excited and wanted to purchase one. "How much is a$10 phone card?" she asked. Everyone within earshot heard the question, then the laughter. "Uhhhhhhhh - Ten Dollars" was my answer. Nope, didn't even have to think about that one.
Of course, this was the same person that had asked a few days earlier "What course is this book for?" She held up the book with the title Introduction to Biology. She had removed it from the shelf that had a sign that said "Introduction to Biology" Course Number GE 1234, Professor Schmoe. "Hmmmmmm, I think that would be for "Introduction to Biology" I stated. Nope, that wasn't one of the questions that I had to think about either.
