Professor: “You’re the only student who handed in a completely blank exam.”
Student: “I know.”
Professor: “Do you have an explanation?”
Student: “Yes.”
Professor: “I’m listening.”
Student: “I studied everything.”
Professor: “Then why didn’t you answer a single question?”
Student: “Because none of the questions were on the material you taught us.”
Professor: “They were all from the syllabus.”
Student: “Exactly.”
Professor: “What does that mean?”
