The cap’s still on
September 21, 2007Yesterday at university, during an English course, I wanted to hand in a short assignment I was unable to hand in last week, together with this week’s assignment. I walked up to my professor (he’s from Texas, by the way), and said:
“Here’s last week’s assignment. I’ll hand it in now, apart form this week’s, so you don’t mix them up.”
Smiling, he replies:
“Erm, you wrote the week’s number on it. I’ve got a PhD, you know. I’ll figure it out.”
“Good point.”
My professor switches his attention to the beamer he’s setting up for class, and grumbles:
“Now, why won’t the damn picture show up!” Silence. “Oh wait. The cap’s still on…”
I couldn’t resist.
“A PhD, you say?”
Burn! ;)

What was the class reaction?
The class was fairly empty, seeing it was like 10-15 minutes before it started.

Please tell me he doesn’t wear a cowboy hat.

Heh, luckily he doesn’t. He’s not all Texas-y at all.

There’s something with Texans and lens caps.

Ah, this explains your laughing while no-one else did… ;-)
Too bad I was sitting at the other end of the class… Ah well, I’ll laugh in retrospect: HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I like him, he’s a great guy!
