An old one ... A female student was about to graduate and needed a gen ed class and decided to take a freshman ornithology class, thinking she'd breeze through a large lecture class filled with freshmen. After 3 weeks of lectures and studying every aspect of birds - anatomy & physiology, habitat, diet, migration, mating patterns, etc etc, she took the first exam. She was shocked to see the entire exam consisted of matching 50 bird names with pictures of just their legs. Outraged, she decided to drop the class, so she marched up to Professor Smith's podium, threw the exam on the ground and said "this is the stupidest exam I have ever seen! I am a senior and I don't have to take a silly class like this. I'm dropping it" As she was walking out the door, Professor Smith yelled "Excuse me, miss, what is your name?". The student stopped, raised her skirt up high and said "YOU figure it out!"

The student enquired of the prof "Is this a gun you have in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" As long as we're making awful jokes, a more appropriate punchline would have been: (a) "Is that a piece of chalk in your pocket..." (which raises the question of whether it was the regular small piece of chalk or the big piece of chalk children use) (b) "Is that an eraser in your pocket..." (for oddly shaped, er. y'know) (c) "Is that a zucchini in you pocket..." (professors who are fans of the movie "Spinal Tap") I believe that the punch line of Mike's (very old) joke was first uttered by Mae West in the film Sextette (who may only be remembered by TIPSters of a certain age, but should not be forgotten). There is another version attributed to her involving a banana, but I cannot find the source. Chris -- Christopher D.
