College ProfessorIn college many years ago I had to wait in a hallway for one of my professors. Across the way a door opened into a history class. The teacher; a tall bald, white-haired man; entered, put his books down and looked out over the class. ``As you know, my goal in this class will not be to teach you to think for yourselves but to force you to conform to my way of thinking''. As one, a hundred pens began scribbling in a hundred notebooks and I could see a look of purest terror creeping over the professor's face. ``No, no!'' he shouted. ''That was a JOKE!'' For a moment every face turned up to look at him blankly. Then, as one they all laughed When I left he was still staring at them, open mouthed.
